As part of UNIYIA's capacity-building agenda, we host online events to discuss youth engagement in addressing environmental and societal issues. We leverage digital tools and platforms to implement monthly or quarterly series that matter most to youth in Africa.
Certification Training and Capacity Building
UNIYIA brings together experts from diverse fields to address capacity building and training needs across various sectors. The program aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of individuals and organizations by providing specialized training, expert-led workshops, and certification opportunities. One notable initiative under this program is UNIYIA’s 2-day virtual training on effective environmental communication.
Advocacy on E-Mobility and Youth Engagement
UNIYIA is actively involved in advocating for the integration of e-mobility solutions in Ghana, focusing on electric bikes (e-bikes) as a sustainable transportation option. This advocacy includes conducting e-bike audits to assess their viability, challenges, and benefits in urban and rural settings. We aim to provide actionable insights that guide policy development and infrastructure planning to support the widespread adoption of e-mobility.
