AEYL Activities
Nurturing, empowering, and amplifying the voices of emerging evidence leaders across Africa
Monthly AEYL meetings that foster peer-to-peer learning
AEYL hosts monthly virtual meetings to create a space for members to learn from one another, share experiences from their countries and sectors, and build a supportive community of practice. Sessions include member showcases, peer-learning exchanges, thematic discussions, and reflections on emerging evidence and policy issues across the continent. This is led by the Youth Leaguers and contribute strongly to the facilitation of peer-to-peer learning.
