The African Youth Development Fund (AYDF) is not a funding organisation; rather, we are a training and development service provider dedicated to empowering young people across the African continent. We offer a range of capacity-building initiatives, mentorship programs, and advocacy efforts to enable youth-led projects and initiatives that foster positive social change and sustainable development.

Our mission is to catalyse youth-led development by providing comprehensive training, mentorship, and advocacy to amplify the voices and initiatives of young Africans. We strive to create opportunities for youth to enhance their skills, drive innovation, address societal challenges, and contribute to the overall advancement of their communities and the continent.

AYDF offers a diverse array of training programs tailored to the needs and interests of young Africans. These programs cover various areas, including leadership development, entrepreneurship, project management, communication skills, advocacy, and more. We prioritize initiatives that empower youth to unlock their full potential and become effective agents of change.

Our training programs are open to youth across the African continent who are passionate about driving positive change in their communities. While eligibility criteria may vary depending on the specific program, we generally welcome participants who demonstrate a commitment to personal and professional growth, as well as a desire to contribute to the development of their societies.

Information on our training programs, application procedures, and eligibility requirements are typically available on our website and official communication channels. Interested individuals are encouraged to review the program details carefully and follow the application instructions provided. Please note that application deadlines and requirements may vary for each training cycle.

In addition to training programs, AYDF offers mentorship opportunities, networking events, and advocacy initiatives to support the ongoing development and empowerment of young leaders. We believe in providing holistic support to help youth realise their potential and make meaningful contributions to society.

There are several ways to support the work of AYDF, including spreading awareness about our training programs and initiatives, volunteering as a mentor or facilitator, providing resources or partnerships, and advocating for youth empowerment and development.
