Y+ Summit 2025

Date: May 21–22, 2025 — Venue: North Road Primary School, Mbale District

The National Y+ Summit 2025, co-hosted by MUWEI, brought together young people from across Uganda to strengthen youth leadership, advocacy, and participation in HIV and SRHR programs. MUWEI facilitated interactive youth-led sessions, group discussions, and field visits to Namakwekwe and Busiu Health Centres III, giving participants firsthand exposure to youth-friendly HIV service delivery.

Sessions & recommendations

Breakout groups (Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin) addressed mental health, stigma, adherence, economic empowerment, and funding.
Panelists emphasized meaningful youth participation in budgeting, planning, and accountability for HIV programs.
Recommendations: integrate mental health support, financial literacy, mentorship, and ensure continuity of services for young people living with HIV.

MUWEI calls for follow-up activities, community sensitization for guardians, and sustained support to translate summit learnings into action.
