About Us

YPS or Young Public Servants is a group of young dynamic individuals focused on promoting Good Governance and Democratic Citizenship among the youth. YPS believes that these elements are critical in developing a new, focused and dedicated generation of leaders. YPS works to establish the foundations of governance and citizenship not only through activities geared towards nation building but in everyday citizens' activities as well.

The objectives of the group are as follows:

  • Increase awareness on Good Governance and Democratic Citizenship among the youth and the general public
  • Be an influential and credible source of youth perspectives
  • Initiate dialogue and for a that may lead to policy reforms relevant to the youth
  • Undertake research relevant to understanding and establishing programs for the youth
  • Provide venues for the youth to voice their views and opinions on Good Governance and Democratic Citizenship

 

YPS forms part of a larger organization called the International Center for Innovation, Transformation and Excellence in Governance of INCITEGov.
