Resume

The project aims to foster peaceful coexistence and strengthen civil society by empowering 130 youth in NEET as leaders, creating inclusive spaces for vulnerable children, and advocating for gender inclusion and child safeguarding. Through training in project-cycle management, MEL, and fundraising, as well as the development of a gender inclusion strategy and a roadmap towards locally led initiatives, local partners ANFPU and HDF will enhance their capacity to lead sustainable development efforts. Youth Leadership Education equips youth in NEET situations with leadership and life skills, enabling them to organize inclusive, non-competitive Fun Football activities under the Open Fun Football Schools framework. These activities provide safe spaces for 4,000 children in IDP camps and host communities, promoting social inclusion, psychosocial well-being and resilience. Advocacy efforts further raise awareness of critical rights issues and challenge harmful norms.
