Description:
In September 2003, a group of 38 young people between the ages of 15 and 26 from 27 countries around the world founded Global Youth Partners. This initiative, which is youth-driven and youth-managed with support from UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund), aims to rally partners and stakeholders to increase investment and strengthen commitment for preventing HIV infections among young people

GYP Egypt is now working under UNIFEM Egypt Support.

Our plan focuses on advocating for the establishment of (Anti AIDS Clubs), i.e. school-based associations that will provide information and services on HIV prevention to students. This model has been first applied in Egypt through CARITAS then we succeeded to start our pilot phase in year 2006 in five secondary schools and we are advocating for the expansion in the other governorates

The idea of the Anti AIDS Clubs is to disseminate information in these schools. Some of the students shall be trained to be responsible for the Anti AIDS Clubs coordination and eventually more students shall gain the awareness about the disease and hence be actively involved in the dissemination of information as well as combating the disease

The project hence does not only aim at the dissemination of information, but also the enhancement of youth participation in the civil society through programming and implementation strategies.
