Futurelect is working with youth, civil society organisations and partners to overcome challenges like limited access to civic education, low youth engagement, and a lack of resources on governance in Africa. By providing accessible, relevant content through our Learning App and video and audio social media channels, we’re empowering young Africans to become informed, active citizens who can shape a more just and inclusive society.
