YALJOD
The Young African Leaders Journal of Development (YALJOD) is a biennial publication by the Young African Leaders Forum. It hosts the scholarly analysis and competing viewpoints about the development of Africa. It was established in 2015 and is considered Africa's first youth-led journal in development economics. It publishes papers by youths relating to all aspects of democracy and economic development - from immediate policy concerns to structural problems of underdevelopment in the continent.

In addition to scholarly analysis and competing views, the journal incorporates reports and insights from youth activists and development facilitators in order to present them to policy makers in the continent. The objective is to influence public policy development and implementation processes in the continent.

The editors of the Young African Leaders Journal of Development do not consider unsolicited articles. The journal does not perform peer review. Every two years, the journal is launched in partnership with the African Union at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
