Africa Advocacy Workshop
------------------------
21 - 28 June, 2003
Lusaka, Zambia
The Youth Coalition (YC) and the Youth Against AIDS Network (YAAN)
are hosting the Africa Advocacy Workshop aimed at young people work-
ing on issues of sexual and reproductive health and rights in Africa.
The workshop will focus on enhancing the skills of young people work-
ing in this area to lobby and advocate for changes at national, re-
gional or international level. In addition, the training will focus
on building the capacity of participants to design and manage effec-
tive advocacy campaigns within their own communities aimed at chang-
ing attitudes or behaviours that negatively affect the sexual and re-
productive health and rights of young people.
The eight-day training will provide thirty young people from through-
out Africa an opportunity to interact, learn from one another and es-
tablish continental connections that will assist them in their work.
All selected applicants will be fully funded to attend the workshop.
Please note that YC and YAAN are keen to receive applications only
from those who:
* fall between the ages of 16 - 29
* are affiliated - either full-time or as a volunteer - to an organi-
zation working in the area of sexual and reproductive health and
rights (including HIV/AIDS)
* live and work in Africa
DEADLINE FOR APPLYING IS MAY 2, 2003. Selected applicants will be
contacted by May 20th.
