Description
UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office Abuja in partnership with the Pan-African Youth Network for a Culture of Peace (PAYNCoP), and the Center for Youth Advocacy and Development (CEYAD) invites African youth organizations to submit original and innovative experiences that document impactful youth engagements spanning across development pillars that have and/or are currently transforming the trajectory of African youths at the local, regional and global level.
Public narrative is an art of storytelling, which UNESCO and its partners recognize as a powerful tool to communicate activities, outcomes and results. This tool will create a platform for most youth engagements, especially those that occur at the local level, facing difficulties in gaining visibility and contributing to the compendium of impacts championed by African youths for significant change on the continent.
This initiative aims to highlight and amplify the work of youth organizations that have and/or are in the process of deepening youth engagement, to encourage the engagement of young people as key actors in the development of their communities.
Eligibilities
Stories/experiences/examples of initiatives of nominated or interested candidates must contain the following elements:
- Context, objectives and theory of change ;
- Date or period of implementation, beneficiaries (specify number of women and men), partners
- Information on the challenges encountered during the implementation. If encountered challenges, what were they and how were they resolved?
- Precision of the impact on the initiator and on the beneficiaries?
- Share two or three ideas for future planned engagement with other partners.
- At least two action photos of your engagement
Benefits
Selected African youth organization stories, experiences and initiatives will have the potential to spark and fuel conversations, examine challenges, and advance the debate on the capacity and competence of youths and youth organizations to organize, mobilize, and positively impact social transformation. The published stories will help create a culture of documentation, amplifying the voices of African youths in a bid to collate developmental contributions of young change-makers on such critical issues as sustainable development, youth engagement, and peace building.
