The Work
Association of Youth Organizations Nepal (AYON) is a not-for-profit, autonomous, and youth-led, youth-run network of youth organizations established in 2005. It acts as an umbrella organization for youth organizations throughout the country. It provides a common platform for collaboration, cooperation, joint actions, and collective endeavor among youth organizations in Nepal. AYON is engaged in policy advocacy to create moral pressure on the government for designing youth-friendly policies and programs.
AYON has been working with youth-led civil society organizations and other youth groups to advocate with provincial and federal governments on comprehensive sexuality education, equitable access to family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) services. Starting in 2022, AYON plans to support adolescent reproductive health and FP services in selected local governments to build the capacity of health systems to prepare and recover from shocks and increase resilience in women.
