Youth Partnership for Peace and Development (YPPD) is a youth-led development organization working with partners across the world to foster youth-led
approaches to development and overcome poverty, marginalization and social exclusion. The organization was formed in 2005 by proactive young professionals who strongly believe in the strength of youth to help bring about meaningful changes within the communities they live; by changing the mindset that young people should not only be regarded to as beneficiaries or objects of research but as equal and trusted partners in development.
