London-based Sarah Huxley co-ordinates ActionAid’s youth work. She is ActionAid’s lead advisor on youth policy and programmes, focusing on creating spaces and platforms to empower young men and women to make their voices heard. She specialises in youth policy, child rights, education, protection and post-conflict transitions, and is working to meet ActionAid’s goal of engaging and mobilising 5 million youth by 2017 to take action to build a poverty-free planet.
With past experience as lead writer for the online UN World Youth Report 2011, and with organisations including Restless Development and the DFID Civil Society Youth Working Group, Sarah is particularly keen to create strong links between development programmes, active research and policy.
