Youth Engagement

Overview

Africa has the world’s youngest population, a powerful force that must be included in health governance, policy formulation, and the fight against disease. The GFAN Africa Youth Forum is a youth-led initiative convened to amplify youth perspectives, build advocacy capacity, and contribute directly to the Global Fund’s mission of ending epidemics and strengthening health systems.

This feature story highlights the ongoing conversations, advocacy journeys, and lived experiences shared monthly by young African advocates through March 2026.
