OUR 2021-2025 STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK 

Evidence shows that healthier young people contribute to a, wealthier, more equitable, more peaceful, and more productive communities. My Age has been working at the forefront of the youth-led gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights movement. We have worked to advance this vision by strengthening the advocacy capacity of advocates; spurring significant policy changes and investments to advance gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); elevating the voices of young people and those most affected by the policies and practices we are working to change; advancing bodily autonomy; and putting crucial issues on national, regional and the global stage through opportunities on our disposal.

Today, the need for effective advocacy to advance meaningful youth engagement, gender equality, and SRHR is more critical than ever. Over the next five years, My Age Zimbabwe looks forward to continuing to advocate for, with, and alongside young people in Zimbabwe everywhere in creating a healthier future. We know that a Zimbabwe where young people enjoy their full health is possible, and through our 2021-2025 Strategic Framework, we are dedicating ourselves and our mission to achieve that goal.
