The Regional Adolescent Health Indaba (RAHi) is The Youth Platform's flagship, 100% youth-led gathering on adolescent health, rights, leadership and opportunity. It brings together hundreds of young people, partners and decision-makers for three days of keynotes, workshops and real policy conversations.
RAHi 2026 is scheduled for November 2026 in Lusaka, Zambia (dates tentative — we'll confirm soon). The full programme runs across three days.
Any young person passionate about adolescent health and rights is welcome — locally, across the SADC region and internationally. TYP members get priority access, and a number of standout young people are sponsored to attend each year.
Pricing is tiered by delegate category and how early you book. Early-bird rates start at USD 40 for students and young people, with Local, Regional (SADC) and International rates. Your pass covers conference access, materials, lunch and teas across all three days — and the earlier you register, the more you save.
Yes. Each year we sponsor a number of outstanding young people to attend RAHi — recognising real leadership and impact in their communities. There's no application to fill in; standout members are identified and invited by our team, so the best way in is to be active in the movement.
