CYPG cultivates the next generation of governance leaders — building policy literacy, institutional awareness, and ethical leadership among Tanzania's youth.
The Foundation for Youth in Policy and Governance (CYPG) is a youth-led institution established to strengthen meaningful youth engagement in governance, public policy, and national development processes. Founded in recognition of the existing gap between young people and institutional decision-making systems, CYPG serves as a platform for empowering youth with the knowledge, capacity, and exposure required to actively participate in shaping policy and development agendas.
CYPG operates as a non-partisan and independent organization committed to promoting informed, constructive, and responsible youth participation in governance and public discourse. The organization focuses on building a generation of young leaders who are not only aware of governance systems but are also capable of contributing to policy formulation, institutional development, and economic transformation.
At the core of CYPG's work is the belief that young people are not merely beneficiaries of development, but critical stakeholders and drivers of national progress. The organization therefore seeks to bridge the gap between youth, academic institutions, policymakers, and the private sector by creating structured pathways for engagement, dialogue, and collaboration.
A future where young people are informed, empowered, and actively engaged in shaping governance systems and development outcomes.
