Contact Trust Youth Association

Contact Trust Youth Association (CYTA) was established and registered in 1997 with the Registrar of Societies. It is one of the leading youth focused Zambian NGOs that builds capacities of young people to achieve sustainable human development and the eradication of all forms of marginalization. In all its development work, CTYA operates on the principle of non-partisan collaboration with civic, political and other organizations on matters concerning youth development. Within the area of strengthening the capacities of young people in its operational areas, CTYA places importance on advocating for changes to laws, policies, practices and behaviours that hinder the enjoyment of young people’s social, economic, cultural and civil rights. The organization works under three thematic areas namely Youth Civic and Democratic Popular Participation, Youth Comprehensive Reproductive Rights, and Youth and Livelihood Skills.
