We are a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting communities and improving lives.
The Graduate Producer Association (GPA) is a youth-led, non-profit organization established in 2021 in North Darfur under the supervision of the National Graduate Employment Agency and the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports. GPA envisions a community led by productive graduates who transform knowledge into action, energy into innovation, and ambition into real opportunities that foster peace and sustainable development. Through its programs, GPA empowers youth and graduates affected by conflict by promoting entrepreneurship, vocational training, agricultural innovation, psychosocial support, and community peacebuilding. The organization believes that lasting change begins when youth are at the center — as leaders, innovators, and partners in shaping their own future. With support from international partners such as DT Institute, USAID, and the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM), GPA has successfully built the capacities of hundreds of young people, created sustainable livelihood opportunities, and strengthened social cohesion across conflict-affected communities in Darfur.
What We Aim to Achieve
The Graduate Producer Association (GPA) envisions a community led by young and productive graduates who transform pain into purpose, unemployment into creativity, and conflict into the energy that builds peace. We believe that true development begins with a youth’s idea, a skill that makes a difference, and collective action that restores hope across Darfur and Sudan. Our goal is to empower graduates and youth to become leaders in their communities — creators of opportunities, innovators of change, and champions of peace, dignity, and shared prosperity.
