Investing in people, particularly young people, is the most leveraged and cost effective investment that nations like Nigeria currently experiencing youth bulge can use to turn the tide. We are already witnessing a gradual manifestation of a cohort of profound challenges in population growth, sexual health anomalies, huge poverty headcount, underemployment and poor output of governance. Investing in the wellbeing of over 102 million youths will only increase Nigeria's ability to address the present and future social impairments in our society. How to repetitively set young people on the development agenda is a drive for us. Our mission is our key driver – At Onelife Initiative, we are convinced that young people are the greatest asset of this age. That explains why we seek to empower young people with the right skills using participatory tools whilst giving them access to appropriate information needed to activate sustainable change in society.Onelife Initiative's vision is a generation of young people enjoying improved socio-economic life through innovative and consistent engagement with Nigeria's public space. We believe this is central to having sustainable outcomes in sexual and reproductive health and rights, governance and economic development; in measures that can profit our target population. The theory of change at Onelife Initiative for Human Development takes root from our approach. We believe that - IF young people have good grasps of governance and policy issues, become active citizens and make key inputs into policies;AND IF their sexual and reproductive health and rights also do not lag because of the quality of information they have to protect them and plan for their future; AND IF they are strengthened through enterprise to become economically independent;THEN we will have the emergence of a generation of young people enjoying improved socio-economic life who can constantly have their interest protected in Nigeria's public space.
