What happens when young people are equipped with the right tools to advocate for their health and wellbeing? Change begins. 👏🏾 In Mzuzu and Blantyre 🇲🇼, 57 young people were trained using the READY to Advocate Tool and the We Matter, Value Us (WMVU) Guidelines to strengthen their advocacy for youth-friendly health spaces and meaningful engagement in healthcare decision-making. Armed with new knowledge and practical skills, participants developed action plans to advocate for more adolescent and youth-centered care across SRHR, HIV, and broader health services, pushing for health facilities and communities where young people feel heard, respected, and supported. The best part is, these resources are available for you too! Access it all now! 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️💨 readymovement.org/resources/ #WeAreREADY #READYMovement

Shots from our country visit to Zambia 🇿🇲! We engaged young people at Youth-Friendly services understanding their experience on accessing SRHR and HIV services. Tailored healthcare is an important investment especially for adolescents and young people. #READYMovement #WeAreREADY

READY believes young people deserve health services that are accessible, welcoming, and designed with their realities in mind. 🌍🧠 We are excited to introduce the Youth Friendly Service Toolkit, a comprehensive package of resources developed to strengthen the quality and accessibility of health services for young people. Co-created and validated through workshops with consortium partners and youth representatives, the toolkit is available in English and Portuguese and includes: ✔️ A core toolkit ✔️ A facility checklist ✔️ Supporting certificates These resources has been designed for both web and print use, and they will support implementing partners to identify service gaps, establish standards for youth-friendly care, and advocate for the sustainable integration of youth-friendly approaches into national health systems. Meaningful youth-centered healthcare starts with systems that listen, adapt, and respond to young people. ❤️ Access the toolkit here: readymovement.org/resources/… #READYMovement #WeAreREADY

Let’s talk about our work in Zambia 🇿🇲! Our country partner @zambia_network_for_young_peopl held a powerful session with adolescents and young people introducing them to the ABCD framework for advocacy. Young people were taught on identifying the right audience, understanding the baseline of information, defining clear change goals, to delivering strong, and targeted messages. For us at READY, we believe it is important to strengthen youth-led, evidence-driven advocacy because that is a key factor in successfully advocating for youth priorities in health. #READYMovement #WeAreREADY

There is something powerful about watching a network grow into its own voice and space. During our technical support visit under the READY project, we had the opportunity to engage deeply with ACADEJ @acadej_ao the country network in Angola, starting with a visit to their new office in Palanca, a milestone that reflects both progress and possibility for a strengthening country network. We discussed beyond structure into strategy and reviewed ACADEJ’s 2026 advocacy direction, exploring how to better align their activities with READY programming, and identified key gaps, challenges, and opportunities within their organizational systems. What stood out most was the energy and commitment of ACADEJ members, young leaders who are actively shaping change within their communities. The young leaders shared their advocacy journeys, achievements, and the realities they face. Young people are doing critical work on the ground, supporting peers and raising awareness, yet they are still not taken seriously enough by some stakeholders. That tension is real, but so is their resilience. We also worked closely with the project teams to strengthen the use of monitoring and evaluation tools, improve reporting, and refine ACADEJ’s strategic positioning and branding. As a team, we set clear action steps to move forward with intention and impact. Moments like these are a reminder that meaningful youth leadership is already happening. The task ahead is to ensure it is recognized, resourced, and sustained. KUDOS to Angola 🇦🇴! #WeAreREADY #READYMovement
