Uganda Youth Network (UYONET) is the leading national youth organization that works to mainstream young people`s engagement in development and governance processes in Uganda and East Africa. The organization is comprised of 25 youth focused networks and about 117 member organizations working with young people across the country.

In the new UYONET membership model, we aim at bringing on board a number of categories of youth formations including; Youth in faith based organizations, Youth led and focused NGOs and CBOs, Youth in sports clubs, Youth in cultural institutions, Youth in the informal sector, Youth clubs in schools and institutions, Youth in professional bodies and the National Youth Council. 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.
