WWF- the global conservation organization is one of the largest conservation organizations in the world. WWF is working in Africa to promote conservation and to also ensure the continent’s natural resources are sustainably managed to bring about positive ecological and socio-economic transformation for the people of Africa. WWF in Africa recognizes that in order to achieve its goals it is imperative to mobilize and engage with the youth who form the largest segment of its population comprising 70 percent.

In this regard, WWF Cameroon Country Programme Office (WWFCCPO) is coordinating the implementation of the Africa Youth Transformational Leadership Programme (AYTLP). This is being implemented under the Africa Youth Thematic Hub covering countries where WWF has a presence in Africa and spreading to other countries through partners and networking platforms. The AYTLP program is anchored on four key areas to include
advancing policy,
capacity building,
promoting green entrepreneurship, and
networking platforms.

WWF recognizes that in order for youth to be the change agents of our society it is imperative that they have the necessary capacity to engage and take transformative actions that will empower them and contribute to sustainable development in Africa. In this regard, WWF has developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) that will enable the capacity building of a critical mass of youth in Africa to equip them will key skills and competencies that will help them to become transformational leaders that will drive the desired change for Africa.
