Rationale
Like never before, Nigeria is witnessing a highly increasing number of youth-led and youth-focused organizations and activist engaging on one issue or the other. Whilst this can be said to be a good development in itself, the quality and developmental output from such organizations leave much to be desired. This is simply because the quality of input determines the quality of output. Many youth organizations in Nigeria are in dire need of the requisite organizational know how to achieve high level impact and growth. This is what this program is about.
