Our Annual Reports

Youth LEAD produces annual reports to reflect on some of the key achievements and milestones from the year. The annual report provides a glimpse into some of the key activities and projects and highlights Youth LEAD’s contribution to the regional HIV response. The annual report also explores how Youth LEAD’s efforts align with other global strategies, but more importantly, how the activities align with Youth LEAD’s strategic priorities.

TeenGen

One of Youth LEAD’s most prominent training manuals, TeenGen, provides a leadership training course for adolescents from key populations in the Asia Pacific region. TeenGen aims to build the knowledge and skills of adolescents on HIV, leadership and human rights. As young people grow and age, Youth LEAD recognises the need to develop the capacity of youth activities at an earlier age, which will help sustain and expand the youth and key population movement. The training, which generally lasts three days, is aimed at 13 -17-year-olds. Thus far, TeenGen has been carried out seven times in six countries since 2016.

NewGen

NewGen is Youth LEAD’s oldest and most-recognised training manual, developed in 2011 and published in 2014 has since been conducted more than 20 times in 13 countries. The flagship manual provides a leadership training course for young people from key populations at higher risk of HIV exposure in the Asia Pacific region.

NewGen aims to build the advocacy and leadership skills of young key populations, and also builds the institutional capacity of community youth networks and other youth-led/serving organisations, equipping them with skills to address the needs of YKPs. Unlike TeenGen, NewGen is longer and takes five-days, tackling issues of SRHE and CSE at greater length. 

Legal Advocacy Toolkit

The Legal Advocacy Toolkit is one of Youth LEAD’s newest editions that focuses on young people and law. Developed in 2016, the toolkit training has since been rolled out in five countries, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. The toolkit is intended to build the understanding of the legal and policy environment and the effects that laws and policies can have on young people's sexual and reproductive health, as avenues for advocacy to address identified barriers. It looks at both local and international advocacy with a focus on using international human rights mechanisms. The training course is conducted over a space of four days. 

Global Fund Training for Young People

Making Money Work for Young People in HIV Response is an advocacy initiative developed to influence the Global Fund into allocating resources for young people. The Global Fund is one of the largest multilateral donors in the world, and one of Youth LEAD main funding agencies. Youth LEAD has played a crucial role in the development of the Global Fund Youth Guide, a guide written for young people to understand the Global Fund. The guide helped inspire capacity training to empower young people to understand the Global Fund processes better. The training has since been carried out 15 times in 13 countries in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia and the Asia Pacific. 

Organisational Development and Change

In 2019, Youth LEAD and the 4Youth consortium, comprised of Youth LEAD, Y+ Global, Y-PEER Asia Pacific Centre and Youth RISE, through the support of the Robert Carr Fund, came together to consult on the development of an Organizational Development and Change (ODC) manual. This initiative would target YKP-led organisations. The ODC manual aims to improve organisational problem solving and strengthen processes through a collaborative management culture for youth organisations. The manual was developed and finalised by Youth LEAD in 2020.

YKP Guidance Manual

The YKP Guidance Manual was developed by young people for young people, to highlight the unique needs of YKPs in the Asia Pacific region. The manual promotes sharing, learning, reflection and critical thinking to inspire the development of comprehensive regional and national programmes for the sexual reproductive health and rights. The YKP Guidance had its first regional training in October 2019, followed by two in-country trainings in November. The guidance manaul was formally launched in early 2020.

Organisational Development and Change - UNDP Being LGBTI in Asia and the Pacific Project

 

The ​Organisational Development and Change (ODC) manual was developed in 2019 by Youth LEAD to guide youth-led organisations through the development and growth of their organisations with tools, workable and accessible frameworks, in a language that is youth-friendly and easy to understand. In 2020, Youth LEAD was awarded funds by ​UNDP, Being LGBTI in Asia and the Pacific to support the country-led assessment of three of Youth LEAD's network partners; ​Myanmar Youth Stars​, Youth LEAD Mongolia and ​Ya_All, India. The ​internal assessments allowed organisations to reflect on their foundations, the structure,​ organisational management but also promote​d​ cross-sharing of findings between ​network ​partners.
