Tembea’s 2017-2022 strategy recasts the vision and mission of the organization to fit focus on sustainable development goals. Tembea at its inception was driven by the desire to provide a platform for young people to participate in development activities. Providing opportunities for career information and development, creating space for civic engagement, social and development discourse, innovation and creativity.  This was intended to address social ills, climate change, natural resources management and environmental degradation, curb youth idleness and address local youth unemployment.
