Welcome to YUNA Tanzania, a  youth based, youth led Non Governmental Organisation that envisions youth are brought closer to and benefits from the UN Development initiatives. We have been operating in Tanzania for more than 16 years and targeting youth aged between 15 and 30 years.

We conduct capacity building education, advocacy, lobbying and activism activities to increase stakeholders influence and participation in youth agendas.

YUNA TZ is renowned for running Annual Model UN General Assembly and it currently runs the International sessions of Model UN, which is an authentic simulation of the UN General Assembly, UN Security, or other multilateral body, which catapults students into the world of diplomacy and negotiation. In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors of UN member states, to debate current issues on the Organization’s vast agenda.

We have conducted more than 15 sessions in Tanzania and Eastern Africa Region.Throughout these years YUNA has been nurturing hundreds to thousands of young leaders who currently are in leadership positions nationally and internationally. It is of no doubt we are a Leaders’ breeding Institution. Our membership database extends to more than 5000 youths.

To ensure youth engagement in the development process in Tanzania, we have been running awareness campaigns,capacity building and policy reviews. For example, Millennium Development Goals( MDG), HIV/ AIDS – Getting to Zero campaign, Dialogues on Cultural Diversity, engaging our youths in the review NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR GROWTH AND REDUCTION OF POVERTY ( MKUKUTA) , initiating an extensive volunteer program in Education.

In promoting international dialogues we have been facilitating our youth to attend various international conferences where the resolutions attained there, consists some of our initiatives. If you want to be a part of vibrant youth in making tangible positive changes then YUNA TZ is the right platform for you.
