Climate SMART Youth Action Network - CSYAN

“Can human development, population pressure, and natural resources co-exist?”. This is the question of why Climate SMART Youth Action Network-CSYAN was started as a platform that works with the community and other stakeholders to pilot heuristic models that promote the co-exitance of human development cooperation and natural resources. With a Vision of A youthful generation profitably engaged in the Climate Smart Action for a sustainable Ecosystem. And the mission of strengthening sustainable youth engagement in Climate Smart Action for a sustainable Ecosystem. Since 2017 we have mobilized and capacitated youth to participate in consultative meetings on a climate change bill and tree fund to create and enable the promotion of climate change financing and have mobilized exchange visits to Mpanga central forest reserve. CSAYN in Uganda is led by the head of programs who provides an oversight role to the secretariat and reports to the board of directors. The head of programs is supported by a pool of technical advisors, program Associates, and an Accounts Associate. CSYAN runs two core programs (a) SDG Village model (b) Climate Smart Agriculture Academy (c) Technical capacity-building consultancy services in Agronomy and biodiversity.
