Community Projects
Youth-In-Community Development (YUCDEV )
This program concept is initiated by CommunityAID aimed at increasing youth efforts/involvement and to
clearly define roles for youth in local development activities. Often, much of the attentions given to
building local capacities are focused on adults, ignoring the visibility and activism of youth components in
community development efforts.

often overlooked youth population. A key component to this process is establishing and maintaining
channels of interaction and communication among community youth groups, leadership, other
community grouping whose activities are more directed towards individualistic interest.

potential to take up full participation in community development.
