YAPO has released its audited report for FY2023, a public account of what the organization did, what it spent and what changed for the young people and communities it serves. The full report is available for download on the Resources page of this website.
The report marks a milestone for a youth-led organization founded in July 2022: an independent audit of its work and finances, published for anyone — partners, government, community members — to read and question. It is accountability made visible, in the tradition of the transparency YAPO asks of others.
What the Numbers Show
The audited figures tell a story of steady, community-rooted growth. More than 5,400 youth have been equipped with livelihood skills, including 1,850 young men and 3,550 young women. Ninety-five girls and young women have returned to education — 65 through formal schooling and 30 through TVET programmes with VETA. And through radio, television and social media, YAPO's messages of empowerment, equality and civic participation have reached more than 500,000 community members.
The report also documents program-level results: 2,360 women and girls empowered through GIRLS Inspire, 1,000 youth trained through EYES in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma, 500 young women reached through digital inclusion in Lindi, and voter education delivered to more than 100,000 citizens through My Vote – My Future Tanzania.
Accountability in Action
Behind the report sit an independent audit, active board oversight and a team of 95 staff and volunteers working across Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Dodoma, Lindi, Mtwara and Ruvuma. Publishing the audited report is part of YAPO's commitment to donors and partners including UNESCO, the Commonwealth of Learning and Alwaleed Philanthropies — and above all to the communities whose trust the organization carries.
Readers are invited to download the FY2023 audited report from the Resources page. Impact without accountability, YAPO maintains, is not impact at all.
