Success Stories From PACE Youth Advocates for Population, Environment, and Development
Date
December 1, 2019
In December 2019, 10 dynamic youth advocates from East and Southern Africa working in wildlife conservation, reproductive health and family planning, nutrition, and agriculture were selected in a competitive application process to enhance their skills in evidence-based policy communication. With the support of the PACE Project and GOAL Malawi, the youth advocates were trained in policy advocacy focused on holistic, integrated approaches in population, environment, and development (PED) that promote healthy communities and a healthy planet. Equipped with additional skills and knowledge, the youth advocates worked for the past nine months to advance PED policy goals in their communities.
