A new survey reveals that while a significant majority of young Africans are confident speaking up about issues, they struggle to translate this willingness into tangible policy action.

• 89% of young people surveyed felt confident speaking up, but only 53% had participated in an advocacy activity.
• The study was conducted by The ONE Campaign across six African countries, including Kenya.
• Challenges identified include a limited understanding of practical advocacy methods, with many unaware that writing to decision-makers or sharing data are forms of advocacy.
