VOICES UNITE FOUNDATION NPC

Unifying the voices of youth to create change

BACKGROUND

Voices Unite was conceptualised in 2018 by In On Africa (IOA), a research firm that strives to accelerate African development by ensuring data-driven decision-making. It was launched as a game-changing digital platform in February 2020, with the overarching objective of unifying the voices of tomorrow’s leaders.

Through this platform, Voices Unite has rolled-out the largest youth-focused digital research study in South Africa, with the aim of surveying at least 30,000 youth across the country aged 18-34 to guide and inform real change – and ultimately scale across Africa.

ABOUT US

Voices Unite Foundation NPC has been created as the medium through which research focused on the views and perspectives of young people can be used to inform and create real change. This will be done in collaboration with Voices Unite partners, with the voices of the youth (data from the platform and involvement of Voices Unite members) at the centre of new projects and programmes aimed at addressing the various issues and challenges faced by young people.

Our aim is to unify and amplify the voices of the youth in order to create real change. It is our belief that the use of good, reliable data derived from the Voices Unite platform can inform programmes and projects that are directed at remedying the challenges experienced by young people.

"From the onset, the Voices Unite platform has been a medium to better understand the lived realities of the youth. The platform has allowed us to gather data on the perceptions and opinions of the youth on a myriad of topics. We needed an entity that would allow us to use this data in an impactful and sustainable manner… that entity is the Voices Unite Foundation NPC.”
