This campaign was started by the
Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth & advancement (YIAGA) in Nigeria. YIAGA is a youth based non-governmental
organization that promotes democratic governance, human rights and youth
political participation which started off in 2007 as a student association in the
University of Jos Plateau State.
Inspired by the Nigerian
example, the office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth has initiated
this global campaign in partnership with UN Development Programme (UNDP),
