Women Business Hub is working together with Female and Male youth on community development planning and transformation to offer ways the young generation can change the world through innovative projects and activities. Community development happens when people take action to solve common problems affecting the places they live, work and play every day. Young people are an important stakeholder group for achieving inclusive development. Comparable to the experiences of women, people with disabilities, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, and those suffering from extreme poverty, youth have historically been excluded from policy and program decisions and Women Business Hub is setting a platform for youths to change this by themselves.

Women Business Hub is stepping in to engage young people both male and female as community organizers. Through training and empowerment, they stand higher chance in developing unique, powerful campaigns that can engage many people, government and private sectors to transform societies.

Training young people about community development can be engaging and empowering in many ways. Children and youth can learn what community is, how communities are built, where community development and planning fails, and what roles they can play throughout the processes.

Why it is important to strengthen the Systems of community based organizations

Community organizations and networks are uniquely positioned to interact with affected communities, respond quickly to community needs and issues, and engage with affected and vulnerable groups. They offer direct services to communities while also advocating for better programming and policy environments. This allows them to influence the development, reach, implementation, and oversight of public systems and policies, as well as the contribution of a community to health.
