Our mantra, “Nothing for and about us without us,” underscores our commitment to youth inclusion in decision-making processes. We create and promote spaces where young people can voice their opinions, influence policies, and drive initiatives that directly impact their communities. By fostering a culture of active participation, we empower youth to take ownership of their future.

Leadership Development

RDP Uganda is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders. Through our Youth Leadership Academy, we provide young people with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to become effective leaders. Our programs are designed to build confidence, enhance leadership capabilities, and promote civic engagement. We focus on developing leaders who are not only capable but also committed to driving positive change in their communities.

Civic Consciousness

Active citizenship is a cornerstone of a vibrant democracy. We work to instill a sense of civic duty and responsibility among young people. Our initiatives encourage youth to engage in community service, understand their rights and responsibilities, and participate in governance at local and national levels. By promoting civic consciousness, we aim to create a generation of informed and engaged citizens.

Advocacy and Policy Influence

RDP Uganda actively advocates for policies that support youth leadership and inclusion. We work closely with government bodies, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that youth perspectives are considered in policy formulation and implementation. Our advocacy efforts are aimed at creating an enabling environment where young people can thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.
