Today, Arua city youth researchers successfully conducted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as part of a study on the role of meaningful youth participation in enhancing employability, mental health, and community resilience in Arua City, Ayivu Division.

The activity is conducted under the Youth Connect Program, implemented by Network for Active Citizens, Restless Development, and the British Council across Arua City, Mbale, and Kampala.

Youth participation is not just about involving young people but ensuring they are part of key decision-making processes. That’s exactly what the Network for Active Citizens (NAC) and Restless Development demonstrated through the five-day Youth Researchers Training held in Kampala, which brought together 40 young researchers from Arua City, Kampala, and Mbarara.

As an organization deeply passionate about youth empowerment and community development, we were honored to be part of this milestone initiative that equips young people with research skills to influence policies and drive meaningful change in their communities.

🌍 Youth Power in Action! 💪🏾

From inquiry to action — young people are taking the lead in shaping data-driven solutions for their communities. This week, 40 youth researchers from Kampala, Arua city, and Mbale have come together for a 5-day foundational training facilitated by Restless Development Uganda under the British Council/NAC programme.

The training is equipping youth with essential research and advocacy skills to address real issues in their communities — promoting evidence-based change, innovation, and resilience. 🙌🏾

Together, we’re building a future where youth voices inspire action and transformation. 💡🔥

Today, Hope Foundation is honored to conduct an exchange visit to Yumbe District to engage with the Youth Defenders Hub, an initiative generously financed by our partners at the Network for Active Citizens.
This visit is a vital learning opportunity aimed at understanding the strategies being employed to promote and protect human rights among young people in Yumbe. Through meaningful discussions and interactions, we are drawing important lessons on how community-based structures like defender hubs can empower youth to become active agents of change.
During this exchange, we also took time to identify and reflect on the human rights violations affecting the people of Yumbe. These include challenges such as limited access to education, youth unemployment, land disputes, and gender-based violence—issue that unfortunately mirror the realities we face in Arua City. This comparison helps us appreciate the shared struggles of our communities and strengthens our resolve to advocate for justice, equity, and human dignity.

We are grateful for the presence of the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Yumbe District, along with other distinguished stakeholders, who have shown commitment to promoting peace, protecting rights, and engaging with grassroots efforts.
As Hope Foundation, we remain committed to building a strong, informed, and rights-conscious youth movement. Together, through collaboration, shared knowledge, and sustained action, we can confront violations and build safer, more just communities across the region.
