The organization is comprised of 25 youth focused networks and about 117 member organizations working with young people across the country.

The above is premised on the assumption that by 2028, at least 70% of UYONET’s program implementation would be through the membership and secretariat would play more of an execution and coordination role.

UYONET has expanded its Programme implementation to over 45 districts in the country and has thus once again opened up recruitment to vibrant youth focused and youth led organizations who can creatively contribute the achievement of the strategic objectives as per the 2018- 2028 strategy.
