Introduction

Are you ready to tackle some of our world’s global challenges?  

Cooperation Grants financially support youth organisations to engage in policy-making and cross-continental collaboration between Africa and Europe. Grants of 50.000 EURO are available for consortiums of youth-led organisations. Each  consortium should be made up of at least one African organisation and one European organisation. If your project is approved, the grant period will last from May 2025 to April 2026.

Cooperation Grants aim to:  
• Enable young people, particularly marginalised youth, to become effective advocates for their rights and their priorities, by giving them the financial resources required to dedicate efforts to policy-work on local, national and international stages.  
• Provide training and resources to help youth understand how to engage with government institutions and influence policy as active citizens.  
• Facilitate connections between youth organisations across Africa and Europe to promote intercultural dialogue and collaborative initiatives. 

These grants aim to empower youth to become effective advocates and create lasting change. Check your eligibility and read the funding guidelines available on our website. Submit your ideas to drive impactful collaboration and amplify youth voices!

Detailed information on this grant opportunity and how to apply can be found in the Funding Manual.
