The programme aims to empower youth with the knowledge and tools required to uphold their rights and take charge of their future wellbeing, according to a WANA statement. Through this five-year programme, the WANA Institute strengthens the capacity of young persons to conduct legitimate and value-adding research through training on research methodology and mentoring. Research products take several forms, including primary and secondary research (using qualitative and quantitative methodologies), policy recommendations, and policy writing instruments, said the statement. After the training, my perception changed; change is in the hands of anyone from the youngest citizen to the eldest. I also learned that changing policy is simpler than I thought, you just need to work hard and have patience”.
