Youth Alliance for Agroecology and ClimateYouth Alliance for Agroecology and Climate
Who we are

Who we are

An inclusive and intercultural platform for climate action, youth training and food sovereignty in Africa.

Our vision

A resilient African continent where young people have the capabilities to meaningfully advance environmental conservation and sustainable agroecological development.

Our mission

YAAC is an inclusive and intercultural platform in the fight against climate change, the training of young people, and the fight against hunger in Africa.

Our values

Five principles guide every project we run.

  • Inclusion

    Everyone has a place in the alliance, regardless of background, gender or training.

  • Environment protection

    Every action is measured against its impact on ecosystems and biodiversity.

  • Poverty alleviation

    Agroecology is a lever for dignified livelihoods, not only for conservation.

  • Integrity

    Transparency in how we work, spend and report to our communities and partners.

  • Local adaptation

    Solutions are rooted in the knowledge and realities of each territory.

Meet our team

Our team brings together expertise in agroecology, project management, communications, entrepreneurship and the social sciences — a deliberate mix that lets us move from field practice to public advocacy.
