Ignite Your Voice: Join the Youth Response Challenge!
About The Campaign

The Youth Response Challenge is a vibrant initiative under the Youth Led Advocacy Project (YLAP), spearheaded by The Youth Platform. This campaign is your space — a chance for adolescents and young people to raise their voices, share their experiences, and propose real solutions to the challenges they face. It’s built on the belief that young people hold deep insights about the realities in their communities, and those insights deserve to shape the future.

  • A platform for young people to speak out on real-life challenges.
  • Hosted by the Youth Led Advocacy Project (YLAP), implemented by The Youth Platform.
  • Supported by ActionAid Zambia and SIDA.
  • Focuses on collecting youth-driven ideas and lived experiences to inform future solutions.
