About 

Created in 1998 and redefined in 2017 by young women, AIP works to strengthen the self-management of grass-roots communities. It places particular emphasis on women and girls with a view to promoting democracy, human rights, and good governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo through these social categories.

AIP is dedicated to the empowerment of a generation of young people, most specifically young women/Girls and aims at equipping them to become authentic and daring leaders in their respective living environments in the community: schools, universities, associations, professionals,s or business environments, etc.

Moreover, AIP aims at inspiring a generation of young leaders to become pioneers and vectors of positive and qualitative change in their communities.

AIP is registered in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and is authorized by the Ministry of Justice to operate throughout the Congolese territory (letter N ° JUST.G.S. / 20/821/2003). Thus, besides activities undertaken in Kinshasa where its head office is located, AIP focused, in the early ’20s, on peace-building training of several stakeholders of the violent inter-ethnic conflict in Ituri province, in north-eastern DRC. Some of the training sessions, carried out under the sponsorship of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the DRC, MONUC, targeted the members of the Interim Special Assembly, the governing body of the province of Ituri at the time of crisis.

We believe all young women and girls can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
