Tunza is a Kishwahili word that means "to treat with care and affection" and the TUNZA strategy recognises the importance of engaging young people so they are in a position to take action and lead their communities through change.TUNZA is the UNEPs capacity building strategy for young people and facilitates the development of resources by young people for young people.
