Neftaly and Governance for Economic Justice

Neftaly (Say Progress) is a dynamic youth-led organization committed to transforming lives through education, skills development, leadership training, and civic engagement. Rooted in the principles of inclusion, innovation, and impact, Neftaly works across communities to equip young people with the tools they need to lead meaningful change—economically, socially, and politically.

Our programs address critical gaps in:

• Youth Employment: Through training, internships, and entrepreneurship support, Neftaly bridges the divide between education and employment.
• Civic Participation: We foster active citizenship, helping young people engage in local and national governance processes.
• Leadership Development: Neftaly cultivates ethical, effective leaders who are equipped to navigate and shape complex social systems.
• Gender Equality and Inclusion: We ensure our programs reach marginalized youth, particularly young women, people with disabilities, and those from rural or underserved communities.

At Neftaly, we believe young people are not just future leaders—they are leaders now.

Governance for Economic Justice: Accountability. Equity. Transformation.

Governance for Economic Justice (GEJ) is a policy and advocacy framework aimed at building transparent, participatory governance systems that foster inclusive economic development. It is a call to reimagine power structures so that economic growth translates into real improvements in the lives of the most marginalized.

GEJ focuses on:

• Accountability and Transparency: Pushing for open budgets, responsible fiscal management, and public access to information.
• Inclusive Policy-Making: Elevating the voices of historically excluded groups—particularly women, youth, and the poor—in shaping economic policy.
• Fair Resource Distribution: Advocating for tax justice, equitable public investment, and social protection systems that leave no one behind.
• Community Participation: Empowering citizens to hold leaders accountable through democratic participation, social audits, and grassroots advocacy.

We believe that economic justice is not a byproduct of growth—it is a fundamental requirement for sustainable and equitable development.
