Our Mission
Advocacy turns what we learn in classrooms, clubs and communities into evidence and public conversation about access, gender equity and jobs.
Objectives
- Turn what our programmes learn into clear public evidence.
- Support informed dialogue around access, gender equity, employability, and digital inclusion.
- Position ITFY as a credible, locally grounded voice in youth-technology and digital skills conversations.
Learn more
- Create content and partnership routes that widen influence beyond direct training delivery.

Who it is for
For funders, policy makers, media and partners who want evidence from the ground on youth digital opportunity.
- Funders and institutions looking for grounded programme insight and outcome data.
- Policy and development actors interested in local digital inclusion narratives from Ghana.
- Media, coalitions and partners working on youth skills and jobs.
- Open to institutions, collaborators and the public, not only programme participants.
- A good fit for groups that want an evidence-led partnership.
- Public-facing content and events can become the main entry points here over time.
Questions
Is advocacy separate from programme work?
It is connected. Advocacy grows out of what ITFY sees through programme delivery and translates that into broader influence.
What kinds of issues does this work focus on?
The strongest themes include access, inclusion, employability, opportunity gaps, and the conditions needed for young people to thrive in tech.
How can institutions take part?
Through dialogue, partnership, events, collaborative content, or contact around a shared area of interest.
“What matters here is that the message comes from lived programme experience, not from a distance.”
Agboku S.Ecosystem collaborator“Advocacy helps us connect what we are seeing on the ground to the bigger systems conversation.”
Belinda K.Programme team member“The strongest voice in these conversations is one that combines care, evidence, and credibility.”
