Resume

The project development objective is to create a south-to-south focused collaboration platform among project partner Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and other stakeholders in Ghana, Uganda and Zambia. The platform will focus on the important task of localizing the UN Global Goals (SDGs) at grassroots level. The overarching aim of the project will be met through 3 immediate objectives: 1.Mobilize and engage our partners’ direct target groups (youth) by enabling them to create and take ownership of localizing the SDGs through grassroots activities. 2.Facilitate the building of synergies, good practices and success stories about localizing the SDGs through a collaborative platform. 3.Lobby and advocate for more supportive policy frameworks that will ensure longer term entrenchment of the various SDGs targets at grassroot levels. While the project targets different stakeholders, the direct target groups are the youth.
