African Youth Initiative Network

The Nobel Peace Prize-nominated African Youth Initiative Network (AYINET) works directly with victims of brutalities suffered during the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda (GoU) hostilities. AYINET focuses its work on three critical areas: health and psychosocial rehabilitation for those who have suffered from grave injuries and crimes, engaging people and communities in the transitional justice process, and empowering and training youth in leadership skills. With these areas in mind AYINET creates and implements programs that are victim-centered and designed to empower communities to promote a healthy, peaceful, and just society.
