European Youth Forum The global objective of this call for proposals is to contribute to the empowerment of youth in Africa and to strengthen their involvement in active, meaningful and innovative ways.

The specific objective for Lot 2 AU-EU Youth Action Lab is:
To create joint African-European youth-led cooperation activities that pursue long term impact and positive change. These should be supported by the award of small grants to innovative ideas in coordination with pilot dialogue and engagement mechanisms led by young people.

Nothing about us, without us. Oxfam Novib (ONL) together with the Oxfam International in Africa (OiA) team,have joined forces with Restless Development Uganda (RD) and the European Youth Forum (YFJ) to develop the AU-EU Youth Action Lab. This action addresses the lack of opportunities for youth in Africa and Europe to collaborate, cooperate, develop, implement and scale up their own initiatives. It is designed to support young people to be more engaged, empowered and connected, in line with the EU’s Youth Action Plan (YAP) and EU Youth Strategy. The action is based on the needs and priorities of young people as identified through extensive consultations conducted by the consortium members over the past four years. It is guided by our shared values and our experience in design and execution of inclusive grant-making programmes, and on learning from previous and ongoing initiatives. The action provides a unique safe and inclusive space for young African and European changemakers to connect andco-create, through the digital platform Power to Voices, which is designed for and with activists. It launches the AU-EU Youth Action Lab Fund to provide at least 110 grants that facilitate youth-led initiatives in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone,Somalia, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. This powershifting fund is co-designed by young people for young people, in such a way that they feel empowered to apply themselves, while their peers, assembled in the Youth Advisory Board (YAB), have decision-making power in the selection process. All grants bring young people together around a common identity or goal, and build on local assets, capacities and trust to facilitate complex change advancing young people’s rights and priorities.

To ensure a continental approach in Europe, European Youth Forum (YFJ)will engage with its existing network of youth organisations in all EU countries, who will be eligible to apply for Euro-African cooperation grants. YFJ will supportinter-continental cooperation initiatives with their diverse pool of trainers and mentors across their network. YFJ will implement their YFJ Academy model to provide a space where grantees part of the cooperation grants will gather and go through a learning experience on how to implement successful advocacy cooperation projects. Based on its geographical coverage and EU policy expertise, YFJ will build on its extensive existing youth network in Europe to strengthen synergies and support cooperation initiatives between youth organisations from Europe and Africa, focusing on policy advocacy. YFJ will oversee the Cooperation Grants.

OGB Myanmar Myanmar faces severe threats to civilian safety due to intense armed conflict, widespread landmine contamination, internal displacement, and extreme weather. By early May, the displaced population reached 3 million, many in hard-to-reach areas without proper shelter or safe water, enduring extreme heat and monsoon conditions. The conflict has significantly escalated since October 2023, particularly in Rakhine, Kayin, Shan and Sagaing, resulting in a 50% increase in displacement over 6 months. The conflict resulted in 2,164 reported civilian casualties in 2023, including 745 fatalities, reflecting a 155% increase in casualties and deaths between 2022 and 2023.
Oxfam, with partners GLAD and YCT, conducted rapid needs <(>&<)> market assessments in Rakhine and Southern Shan from May 25-27, 2024. They identified worsening water scarcity and disease, particularly acute watery diarrhea (AWD), stemming from sanitationand hygiene issues. In April, over 1,300 AWD cases were reported in Rakhine, with children under five being the most affected, including some fatalities. Displaced populations also face critical needs for shelter, NFIs <(>&<)> food. Markets are functional <(>&<)>can meet basic needs of people if given access to cash.
According to UNOCHA Update #38, 3.9 million people still require WASH support, 2.25 million need food assistance, 2.2 million are in need of nutritional support, and 9 million need protection assistance, allof which remain unmet due to funding constraints and access issues.
To address these unmet needs, Oxfam and its partners propose implementing WASH and MPC interventions, along with protection activities, to support 13,978 affected individuals. The MPC will enablerecipients to address their most pressing needs, while the WASH interventions will improve health conditions, and the protection activities will help prevent further harm. The project will be implemented in three townships in Rakhine and Shan following coordination with other DRA members
Climate Justice ClimAct Event OiE in HU Youth mobilization for climate justice is one of the key themes of the Oxfam in Europe (OiE) initiative. Oxfam Novib is one of the principal contributors to OiE and currently hosts the program management for Spark ClimAct, a youth engagement climate justice program in Europe delivered by a consortium of 20 partners, of which seven are Oxfam affiliates. Part of the program is also delivered through Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTPs) – mainly youth organizations - and managed by CAN-Europe.
Spark ClimAct will conclude in July 2024, and to date has mobilized over 2.1 million people, trained over 54,000 and raised awareness of climate justice to over 47 million. A program evaluation and learning trajectory is currently under way and is broadly focused on: Targeting of audiences; Governance, structure and organization of a consortium; Communicating intersecting issues to young people; Working with Activists; and Working with Movements.
This trajectory will help identify knowledge and learnings to strengthen Oxfam in Europe strategy development and future proposals ahead of the next EC DEAR call in 2025. It is expected that the next EC DEAR call will have a strong focus on structured youth involvement in decision making and on facilitating access to financing via sub-grants and other means.
In June there will be a Spark ClimAct consortium assembly to discuss, review and ratify the findings of the evaluation and learning trajectory (amongst other things). Given the relevance for OiE Climate Justice it is proposed to host an OiE meeting following from the assembly to build on common synergies and capitalize on a quorum of Oxfam representatives already in one location. This will complement strategy work underway in the dedicated OiE working group.
A joint working session is planned between the Spark ClimAct partners and the Oxfam in Europe representatives on ways to improve the involvement of youth organizations in consortium-led programs. This session will take place as part of the ClimAct agenda and aims to include representatives of the OiE Climate justice Youth Reference and other youth climate organizations.
Food crisis response in Somalia Project description: The proposed project aims to reduce the impact of severe drought among communities and households affected by humanitarian crises in South West State, Somalia. This 3 months’ emergency project will provide integrated food security, wash and protection humanitarian interventions, serving 3,169 households / 22,541 individual beneficiaries in Baidoa district, Bay region, South West State, Somalia. The intervention responds to alarming rates of acute food insecurity, severe water shortages, unsafe hygienepractices, and inadequate access to sanitation facilities.  This is compounded by high malnutrition rates and disease outbreaks, lack of access to basic service delivery, and limited coping capacity. The project will implement a set of activities to improve household incomes, food security and wash through improving access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene; providing cash assistance to improve access to basic needs and implementing mainstreamed protection activities to achieve protection outcomes.
Global Forest Coalition The objective of this project is to explore the impacts on forests, the climate and communities of bilateral and multilateral, and public and private climate finance for land-based projects that claim to bring climate change mitigation benefits. We will look in particular at large-scale biosequestration projects based on monoculture tree plantations and at projects that combine so-called sustainable livestock and forest restoration and conservation.
Goal
The ultimate goal of the project is to contribute to advocacy that ensures that ineffective and harmful multilateral and bilateral, and public and private climate finance is redirected instead towardscommunity-led and -governed conservation and restoration efforts, and other real solutions to the climate crisis

building thriving communities in rural Water is life: building thriving communities in rural niger
Niger is the lowest ranking county on the human development index  and suffers from chronic poverty, extreme weather conditions, such as drought, and the long-term impact of conflict.
Only onein two people living in rural Niger have access to safe drinking water.
This is largely due to the severe lack of adequate water infrastructureto support the population’s needs. This is because the government focuses on funding urban rather than rural areas. Any infrastructure that does exist has a low level of functionality (13.85% in Tillabéry and 8.09% in Zinder). This is largely due to the low capacity of local technical services to repair and optimize existing water points due to a lack of fundingand knowledge.  The limited number of repair men that are available to service the water points face shortages of the spare parts necessary for pump maintenance. This is due to less investment in the poorest, most marginalised areas, and on-going issues with the spare parts supply chain.
This lack of water and sanitation facilities has a knock-on effect on people’s health, education and livelihoods. In rural Niger:
• Women and girls walk daily, up to 8kms, to access water from traditional water sources, and rivers that do not meet acceptable standards for drinking water.

• Child mortality (under 5s) stands at 8.4%, twenty times higher than the UK, and this is partially due to preventable, diarrhoeal diseases spread through a lack of awareness of good hygiene practices and no access to clean water.

• Open air defection and a lack of best practice regarding handwashing, for example using soap, are commonplace, leading to the spread of disease such as COVID-19 .

• 75% of the rural population has not attended school or received any level of education, partially due to theburden of domestic responsibilities such as collecting water which tends to be located far from households

• Men are often absent,as they travel to other regions to find work, leaving women-headed households that rely on market gardening for food for their family and to sell at the local market. Without access to water they cannot grow crops critical to their nutrition and their ability to make an income.
RHDI -Food Sec. & GBV Resp. to COVID-19 Reconnect Health Development Initiative (RHDI) is a not-for-profit, non-government organization headquartered in Nigeria for 6 years to promote awareness of mental health issues, and provide psychological treatment and support services for individuals, groups andcommunities. Working together with relevant stakeholders, we affirm our commitment to support and alleviate the sufferings of persons affected by gender-based violence, disasters, crises, violence, mental health disorders, psychological and substance abuse problems.
We believe no one should face a mental health problem alone and we would not give up until everyone in need of psychological support access the support the require.
With nearly 50 seasoned professionals comprising of Clinical and Behavioural Psychologists, Educational and Child Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists, Public Health Specialists and Counsellors. With our contribution to the psychosocial space is unparalleled.
This project will build on the strengths and lessons learned from previous and ongoing programs led by Oxfam. Specifically, the action will complement the ongoing interventions of the EU Support to Food Security and Resilience in Northern Nigeria# (PROACT) in Adamawa and Kebbi states in northern Nigeria. The project is benefiting over 25,000 vulnerable farming households in 80 rural communities, 70% of whom will be women. These Vulnerable households, were in the very poor and poor categories prior to Oxfam intervention in target locations of this project, and were beginning to attain comfortable positions in terms offood security and livelihoods outcomes before the COVID 19 pandemic struck. These populations  are now at risk of having their strengthened resilience attenuated as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. The project will also use the findings of the recent rapid care analysis conducted in Adamawa and Kebbi address gender based violence issues arising from the Covid 19 pandemic.  The power relations which places women as the subordinate gender groups withinthis society, leaves the women vulnerable to GBV violence, as there is a power imbalance between men and women as highlighted by the RGA will also be addressed  by this Project.
MEPT-Movimento de Educação Para Todos II MEPT Movimento de Educação para Todos, is a forum that brings together Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), associations and individuals who work and / or are interested in education, with the aim of strengthening civil society actions in favor of Educationfor All (EFA), contributing to the institutionalization of positive experiences developed by them and outlining joint actions in the field of Education.
MEPT emerged in 1999 following the preparation of the participation in the meeting of the World Education Forum held in Dakar, Senegal in 2000. The vision of the MEPT is to have a country where all children, young people and adults have access to an education basic quality, without any kind of discrimination. MEPT is a member of the Africa Network Campaign on Education for All(ANCEFA) and Global Campaign for Education (GCE), and the coordinator of the Global Education Action Week activities.
Taking advantage of the MEPT's strategic position at the country and regional levels, the project will use MEPTas a advocacy platform to improve the quality of public education services and ensure the engagement of civil society so that government consider increasing the funding of public education services and that resources allocated to the sector can be managed in a transparent manner. MEPT will also serve as a bridge between civil society organizations and government through the Ministry of Education, gathering and systematizing evidence to influence policy makers on best practices and educational policies.
STAD Saving Lives now & future Project The project aims to contribute in strengthening the civil society organizations and alliances to claim and exercise the right to quality education, constructively participate, engage and influence peace process and policies.
