What YIELD Hub does

YIELD Hub is a non-profit facilitation and knowledge-sharing platform founded in 2022 and headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, operating as a hosted entity under Global Dialogue. The organization's mission is to advance meaningful youth partnership in Adolescent and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (AYSRHR) by shifting from symbolic inclusion to systemic transformation. It serves youth-led organisations, philanthropic funders, international NGOs, researchers, and policy advocates across Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Europe, having engaged 200+ organisations across 40 countries since launch.

YIELD Hub's core product is the Action Learning Group (ALG), a structured five-stage process (Observe, Assess, Design, Implement, Capture & Closing) delivered through 90-minute virtual sessions over a seven-month cycle. The methodology integrates compulsory Human-Centred Design training for participants and produces practical toolkits, policy recommendations, and advocacy strategies. Supporting offerings include the Action Learning Online Community (ALOC) on the Mighty Platform (a self-paced digital learning journey), a multilingual Resources Library (English, French, Spanish) containing toolkits on Youth Transition, Compensating Youth Work, and Sustainable Financing, the Youth Partnership Podcast, and fee-for-service Technical Support Packages offered as 1-month, 3-month, or 6-month engagements with sliding-scale pricing for accessibility.

The organization's revenue model combines philanthropic foundation funding (emerging from the 2019 donor-commissioned YIELD Project) with Technical Support Services revenue. The core team of 7-8 includes Co-Directors Sonali Silva (former WHO/UN agency professional, MSc Global Health Policy from LSE) and Richard Dzikunu (board director at Global Health Council and Youth Coalition for SRHR), plus an M&E Officer, Programme Associates (including for Francophone Africa and Latin America/Caribbean), a Strategic Communications Lead, and a Grant Writing & Fundraising Officer. The organization launched its Phase 2 Strategy 2025-2028 and has completed 14+ Action Learning Cycles, with approximately 400 applications received for 2026 cycles from over 50 countries.
