More about Tanzania Emerging Youth Awards TEYA
The Tanzania Emerging Youth Awards is an initiative that was founded and owed since 2021 under Africa Youth Transformation Tanzania (AYT). AYT is striving at ensuring youth initiatives and work efforts are recognized and uplifted, therefore Tanzania Emerging youth Awards will enhance and scale up by creating/ sharing opportunities and connecting youth with business legibility potentials, network and to show case their work. Youth in Tanzania face challenges that includes no open and sustainable platform to recognize their development effort in country level, there is always an important potential to value, appreciate and recognize youth as individuals/group effort, this will help motivate and inspire other youth and development stakeholders to invest in youth. The long term vision is to scale TEYA initiative reaching grossroot youth at the regional level working closely with Local Government Youth Development Officers.
The World Youth Report on “Youth and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, prepared by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), examines the mutually supportive roles of the new agenda and current youth development efforts. The report provides insight into the role of young people in sustainable development in the context of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Far from being mere beneficiaries of the 2030 Agenda, young people have been active architects in its development and continue to be engaged in development initiatives within Tanzania and those all touches around the sustainable development goals. AYT urges that having the Tanzania Youth Emerging Youth Awards during week of the commemoration of IYD with the fact that; International Youth Day gives an opportunity to celebrate, recognize and mainstream young peoples’ voices, actions and initiatives, as well as their meaningful, universal and equitable engagement.
