Who are we?

Youth for Policy (YfP) is a pioneering initiative in Bangladesh, dedicated to empowering young people to actively engage in public policy discourse. Youth for Policy (YfP) provides a platform for emerging youth leaders, strengthening their capacity to participate in meaningful policy advocacy.  We aim to further develop their skills and enable them to contribute effectively to the policymaking process.

This initiative reflects Institute of Informatics and Development (IID)’s broader commitment to nurturing the next generation of policy actors, which transforms youth from passive recipients of policy decisions into active, informed participants and advocates. By prioritizing data literacy, dialogue facilitation, and structured engagement, we ensure that young voices are equipped to influence and advance the national policy agenda.

We invite you to join us in shaping a more informed and inclusive future through constructive and impactful dialogue.
