When young people take the lead, they have the power to challenge perceptions, shift conversations and inspire change.

We at ActionAid South Africa believe that creating space for young people to lead means creating space for new ideas, fresh perspectives and a future shaped by their voices.

As the 3rd quarter of 2026 draws closer to the end, ActionAid South Africa is continuing its efforts in building people power for eco-social and economic justice.

Yesterday, we conducted a workshop to review our annual plan, taking note of the year’s progress versus set objectives at the beginning of the year and looking into what milestones still need to be achieved for the remainder of the year. The workshop served as a refresher for the positioning of each department and its priorities in the advancement of the organisations mission and CSP commitment.

We also had the great pleasure of hosting one of our own, Mr Aldrian Mungani to take us through the process of partnership assessment, engagement and building as it pertains to resource mobilisation and sustainability of the organisation.

As a CSO part of a global movement fighting poverty and injustice we remain committed to challenging patriarchy and extractive economic systems, amplifying the voices of women and youth and building agency through grassroots organising, partnership and feminist alternatives.

With the closing of the workshop, there is a renewed sense of clarity, alignment and collective commitment to the work ahead.

As we move into the final quarter of the year, we are reminded that building people power requires not only clear strategy and intentional partnerships, but also collective action, reflection and accountability. We look forward to translating the insights and commitments from this workshop into meaningful action as we continue advancing eco-social and economic justice.

Dictionaries define a humanitarian as someone "having concern for or helping to improve the welfare and social reform of other people", and at Action Aid South Africa, this definition drives everything we do.

We remain committed to standing with communities on the frontlines of climate disasters and crises, putting local women and grassroots leaders at the center of emergency relief, recovery, and long-term resilience. ⛈️✊🏿

We advocate for climate policies that prioritise justice and sustainability for marginalised communities and continue to support early warning systems, emergency response and long term resilience programming rooted in community agency and environmental justice.

This , let us recognise that our compassion and solidarity are vital to building a more caring world.

Today, we remember Marikana.

We honour the 34 mining workers killed, stand with their families, and recommit to the struggle for justice, dignity and accountability in mining communities.

We remember. We stand together. We continue the struggle. ✊🏾

YOUTH & DEMOCRACY DIALOGUE | KwaZulu Natal edition

Our third installment of the Youth & Democracy Dialogue series took place in Durban.

With many young people still navigating unemployment, inequality, poor service delivery and limited opportunities to participate in decision-making, the dialogue gave participants an opportunity to speak openly about these realities and explore practical ways to turn their voices into meaningful action.

A huge thank you to our wonderful speakers Mazibuko Kanyiso Jara of Zabalaza Pathways Institute, Thabile Mdhluli of Activate Change Drivers and Siphamandla of the Democracy Development Program; your vision for empowering young people is helping to shape a stronger path for the next generation.

Thank you for your invaluable contributions.
