ABOUT US 

​

The SA YGAP process has been convened through the Youth Programmes at the South African Institute of International Affairs (Youth@SAIIA) and led by the Youth Policy Committee (YPC) in partnership with various organisations, schools, and university groups across South Africa. This document was handed over to officials from the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, and UN Women South Africa Multi-Country Office and launched on 25 August 2023 at SAIIA in Johannesburg.

​

The SA YGAP has been made possible with the financial support of the UN Women South Africa Multi Country Office and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Pretoria. The opinions expressed are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funders.
