TAN OVERVIEW
About Us
TAN is a Global Coalition of Youth Development Advocates building Partnerships with Youth Empowerment Stakeholders to implement change initiatives to accelerate Development in Africa.
TAN is a Non-for-Profit, Leadership, Empowerment and Networking initiative driven by individuals of common interest that inspire positive actions to address the issues impacting young Africans and their challenges as grassroots, national, regional, and international activists and advocates of change.
Africa’s Youth is the most critical and influential human capital the continent can depend on for development. We strive to equip and create opportunities to enhance all initiatives by the African New Generation of Leaders to take ownership of development to enforce the change the continents need for Growth.
Concerned about the young Educated and Skilled African population not having the chance to participate in major National and continental Issues that affect their future our team decided to build the platform to empower the African Youth who are poised and ready to create change.
TAN is a Platform to Engage the African New Young Leaders and all Stakeholders in dialogue and debate critical, sophisticated, discourses on serious national issues to agree on ideas, strategies and alternative solutions that would engineer the processes of Change that Africa needs to develop.
We network and organise Conferences, Seminars, Coaching & Mentoring, physical and online Workshops & Capacity Building programmes by using our bespoke methods.
Our team has many years of experience working with young people in various settings teaching, coaching, and mentoring. We also have experience in Leadership, Governance and International Relations, International Security, Policy Development, International Law, Finance, Business Management, Project management, Diaspora Engagement, and Media & Technology.
