Global
Youth Anti Corruption Network (GYAC)
is a global network of youth organizations working on anti-corruption
issues. It aims to establish a global youth network of emerging
leaders that nurtures and is nurtured by the expansion of
country-level initiatives to improve transparency and accountability;
and create an enabling environment for youth to tackle corruption, in
which youth themselves will set priorities to inform the follow-up
activities of the network. The program will bring together youth
between the ages of 18-35 active in anti-corruption efforts, youth
journalists and young socially responsible musicians to increase
awareness among youth about the impact of corruption on development
in their countries; and create country level youth networks to
promote concrete initiatives for greater transparency and
accountability.
