Yonge Nawe is implementing three complimentary programmes that are strategically directed towards the organisation's overall aim:

• Environmental and Socio-Economic Justice

This programme acts on issues that affect socially disadvantaged members of society and threaten environment and sustainable development.  Environmental Justice is about ensuring that communities are not made worse off by development because of their income, employment, education, gender or ethnicity.  The programme aims to achieve equity and social justice in Swaziland through the empowerment of socio-economic disadvantaged members of society.
 
• Natural Resources Management 

The Natural Resources Management Programme looks at how the environment is impacted by development decisions and by management of natural resources in Swaziland.  Areas of work within the programme include environment and health (HIV/AIDS, occupational health and safety, waste management) and water resources (water as a basic human requirement for survival, public interest water use, quality, access and equity and the integrity of ecosystems).
 
• Information, Education and Communications

This programme informs, educates and communicates issues on the state of the environment and impact on sustainable development.  Yonge Nawe is committed to providing a proactive information and knowledge service that is both informing and empowering target stakeholders to take action that contributes to environment and sustainable development in Swaziland.
