The project is a pilot that aims to engage Sudanese diaspora youth in the UK in youth-centred advocacy, managed by Sudan Women Action Group (SWAG) in partnership with Plan International UK (PIUK). The aim is to co-create a programme that supports youth-led initiatives, builds influencing skills, and connects UK-based efforts with those in Sudan through Plan International Sudan.

The project objectives are to:

• • • Strengthen youth-centred advocacy on Sudan.
    • Enhance diaspora engagement in Sudan policy work.
    • Amplify and platform Sudanese youth voices in the UK.
    • Support skills building and knowledge exchange.
    • Foster global connection between UK and Sudan-based advocacy.

This report summarises findings from two consultation events marking the start of the Sudanese Youth Advocacy Project.

The objectives of the sessions were to assess participants’ confidence in skills relevant to campaigning,  advocacy, and youth leadership, and to gather input on their areas of interest, challenges, and desired outcomes for future advocacy efforts.

Next steps for the project will be the Youth Advocacy Training Programme, which are based on the outcomes of this report – a programme outline will be shared with the potential participants, with the aim for the sessions to start in January 2026.
