The AU-EU Youth Action Lab provides the opportunity for youth initiatives in Africa and Europe to submit proposals to apply for funding to implement your own ideas and solutions linked to global challenges!
General Call for Proposals
The ambition is to support how young people link up across and between the African and European continents. To link youth initiatives to their peers to share, learn and collaborate, and to bring your voices and solutions to policy-makers at different levels, including the European Union and African Union!
This coming year, the Youth Action Lab will be launching another call for proposal campaign, inviting youth in their diversity to apply. Eligible countries are Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia (Somaliland Region), Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe and countries part of the European Union.
The Youth Action Lab has 4 different grant types – each with a different focus, but all with a similar ambition: as youth initiative you are supported in a powershifting way!
Why do we call it powershifting grants? Because of 3 reasons!
Nothing about youth without youth
A Youth Advisory Board of the Youth Action Lab will review and select the proposals to receive funding.
Organisational Capacity
We strive for grants that facilitate and nurture stability, resilience, financial security and organisational capacity.
Simplified Application & Reporting
We ensure application and reporting mechanisms that makes sense to youth initiatives.
