The Youth Cafe is conducting an exercise to assess the organizational capacity and sustainability of Youth-Led Organizations (YLO) in the East African region. The aim of this exercise is to strengthen the Youth-Led Organization ecosystems towards youth empowerment and contribution to national development. The exercise will help in understanding Youth-Led Organizations’ ecosystem: including who they are, how they operate, what motivates them, and their relationships with one another & with other key actors, their distribution in the region, among others.
