The 6th East African Youth Parliament (Virtual) is a cross-border advocacy flagship programme launched in 2018 by Faraja Africa Foundation in collaboration with the European Union, Akina Mama wa Africa, Action Aid, the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, the Parliament of Uganda, GIZ, EACSOF, the East African Legislative Assembly, and other partners. It aspires to include youth voices in important decision-making processes, from national to regional legislative procedures, to promote a coordinated regional governance framework. 

This year marks the 6th year of the East African Youth Parliament under the International Youth Day theme: "Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World" hence, "Accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and youth engagement in key decision-making processes." The Vijana Assembly also seeks to bring regional youth leaders together, but it also develops their leadership, policy, and cross-border advocacy skills.
