Small Grants Program – Call for Proposals 2017

The Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR) Kosovo is pleased to announce the call for project proposals within the Small Grants Program for 2017, aimed at expanding youth involvement in education, monitoring (online youth engagement platforms) and advocacy (street actions) in Kosovo. The funding for the YIHR’s Small Grants Program is provided through  the Demand for Justice (D4J) Program, funded by the U.S. Department of State/INL and implemented by the National Center for State Courts to support the development of robust evidence-driven demand for justice in Kosovo.

In order to strengthen the capacities of youth to become active citizens in Kosovo, the YIHR will award grants to informal groups consisting of high school students that demonstrate capacity to identify local community problems and ability to undertake concrete steps in resolving these problems.

Priority will be given to projects that involve activities related to youth involvement in education, projects that demonstrate cooperation of youth from different ethnic communities in resolving local and national problems, and projects that strengthen demand for justice and facilitate youth participation in advocacy processes.

1) A description of the organization/informal group
