Digitalise Youth: Empowering Africa’s next generation of digital Changemakers
Across Africa, young people are not just navigating the digital world; they are reshaping it.
Launched in 2025, the Digitalise Youth Project is implemented by World Scouting as part of a consortium led by the European Partnership for Democracy, alongside AfricTivistes, the Kofi Annan Foundation, CFI, and Code for Africa. Together, the consortium is bridging the gap between digital technologies, young activists, and civil society organisations.
Rolled out in ten National Scout Organisations, including Scoutisme Béninois, Association des Scouts du Burkina Faso, Les Scouts du Cameroun, Fédération Tchadienne du Scoutisme, Ethiopia Scout Association, Association Nationale des Scouts de Guinée, Association des Scouts et Guides du Mali, Scoutisme Nigérien, Fédération Sénégalaise du Scoutisme, and Association des Scouts du Togo, the project equips young people with the skills and confidence to lead in digital spaces while promoting safer, more inclusive online communities.
