Youth Peer
We believe proven health and education needs to be taught using peer to peer approach. Some topics such as those on sex education can easily realize their objectives through peer-to-peer education. Y-PEER undertakes its work guided by evidence-based research and multi-stakeholder engagement.
Healthy
The right to health is a fundamental human right to guarantee all people live in dignity.
Education
The right to education was established in 1948 by the United Nations, yet millions of children are still denied this right today.
Democracy and Peace building
Young people around the world are at a critical juncture as they inherit an array of complex challenges
Human Rights
Gender equality is a fundamental human right and is essential for advancing development and reducing poverty. Empowered women contribute to the health and productivity of entire families
Climate Justice
We believe that everyone has the right to live on a healthy planet. Y-peer Somalia aims to strengthen the resilience of the poorest and most marginalized people on the frontlines of the climate emergency, particularly women and girls.
Crisis Response
Y-peer Somalia and our esteemed partners prepare for and respond rapidly, at scale, to sudden onset natural disasters, protracted and complex crises (as well as shocks within them), and public health emergencies and their secondary impacts.

About Us
Y-PEER SOMALIA is non-governmental organization and global network and also an active member of Global Youth Peer Education Network, the organization’s set up was initiated by UNFPA who saw the need for and potential in a youth network. Following training of trainers (TOT) in 2008, UNFPA mobilized 28 representatives of youth organizations country-wide to form the network. That was in 2009, then referred to as Youth Peer Education Network, Puntland (Ypeer), got officially registered with authorities in Puntland as a community based non-government organization. After long period of impactful interventions, the network expanded to other parts of Somalia and changed its name as to Somali Youth Peer Education Network.
