Established in  2009,  YUWA  is  a  registered  not-for-profit,  purely  youth-run  and  led  organization  that promotes youth participation through empowerment and advocacy. YUWA was born out of a group of committed youths, unofficially  working  in  this  sector since  2005.  The  initial  focus  was  to  develop  the leadership  skills  of  the  involved  youths,  to  train  as  youth  activists,  and  to  advocate  for  change,  thus resulting  in  a  wide  and  diverse  array  of  knowledge,  skills,  and  experience  in  this  sector.  It  led  to  the realization of the seriousness of youth issues and the need to act, which, finally took the shape of YUWA. YUWA currently works in three thematic areas: Active Citizenship, Sexual and Reproductive Rights and Research Unit.

Right Here Right Now 2 (RHRN2) partnership is created so that young people in all their diversity enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in gender-just societies. Young people are at the forefront of our partnership. We seek to unleash the power of youth, to increase public support for SRHR, to improve policies and laws, and to strengthen civil society. RHRN2 is a 5 year project and will be implemented till 2025.

ERI-SID is a three-year-long project dedicated to advancing electoral reform for a more inclusive and democratic society. It does so through a two-fold approach: grassroot mobilization and evidence-based advocacy.
