Grassroots Development and Empowerment Action Platform’s Youth Advocacy program is out to help young Cameroonians especially those at the grassroots to make informed and responsible decisions concerning their livelihoods, have the right to receive complete and accurate information on sexual health, have their rights respected. In addition, GDEAP also believe that the youths in this country should be fully involved in community building programs initiated by outside actors or local government with the young people possibly involved in designing, implementing, evaluating programs and policies that have a direct bearing on making Cameroonian youths more self-reliant.
