___________________________________________________________________________________


UN-HABITAT adopted a resolution in 2007 to establish the UN-HABITAT Youth Fund to mobilize young people for advocating for youth-related policy formulation; support governmental and non-governmental agencies to respond to youth
concerns; support youth information networks;
implement new ideas on employment, governance, adequate shelter and
secure tenure; share best practices; promote vocation training for
entrepreneurship and employment; and promote gender mainstreaming in
all urban youth matters. The Fund was officially launched as the
Opportunities Fund for Urban Youth-Led Development on 4 November 2008
at the fourth sessions of the World Urban Youth Forum in Nanjing, China.


NGOs and community-based nonprofit organizations led by young people aged 15-32 years in developing countries can apply for this Fund (This can also mean that if the governing or management board of an NGO has an active representation of one or more
young persons between 15-32 years, it can still apply for this Fund –
partnerships between adults and young persons are also encouraged).
Applicant organizations should be based in cities or towns with more
than 10,000 inhabitants and they must be legally registered for at
least one year and should have a valid bank account. If small applicant
organizations do not have legal registration but still fulfill the
eligibility criteria, they can apply in partnership with another
legally registered organization which can facilitate the grantmaking
process.


Proposals can be submitted in English, French or Spanish. The application form can be downloaded from the UN-HABITAT website. Supporting documents need to be submitted along
with the completed application form. Submissions can be made by email.
However, there are different emails for different regions. Budgetary
limitations have been specified: small projects can request up to $5000
while larger projects can receive grants
of up to $25,000. Proposed projects should schedule the starting date
of implementation six months after the submission deadline and should
last for less than 12 months.


Applications will be evaluated
thoroughly and objectively and the judges’ decision on the rating will
be final. The winners will be notified by email and projects receiving
support will also be listed on UN-HABITAT’s website. The selection
process can take up to 5 months after the deadline. The last date to
submit applications is 15 April 2010. For more information, visit this www.unhabitat.org

Hi to you all.
I am the programme manager of Education Access Africa, a non-governmental organization working in five districts in Northern Uganda. Our programme targets youths and women with core areas being vocational education and skills training, peace and conflict resolution, good governance and democracy.

Uganda has experienced violent elections in the past and it is most likely that the 2011 elections shall be more violent. Experience has shown that the youth have been used as tools for electoral violence. Our strategic effort is to promote non-violence elections. I believe this is a great opportunity for us.

Best regards to you all.

Dear Sir,
It was just on time to open this page and found exactly what we were discussing as an Organization working with diverse issues all related to human development in The Gambia, with particular reference to youths living in both urban and rural areas of the Gambia.
We are a registered NGO in The Gambia and have a very active membership within and outside the country. At present we want to create employment, strengthen the identity of youths living abroad, in The Gambia and Senegal, through an organized International Youth Music between the two countries.
Our organization is called Club Global Gambia and has strong links with many Club Global around the world. The main organization or headquarters is located in Sweden but we are independent to contact other organizations for sponsorship.
Please kindly check our membership register from this link:http://groups.google.com/group/club-global-gambia-action-group
