– Promote youth participation in social, civic, political and economic life, while furthering their involvement in the decision-making process and contribution to inclusive growth and sustainable development;
– Establish new linkages and cross-fertilisation opportunities between youth networks and national policy making institutions;
* Cross cuting issues
– A meaningful inclusion that incorporates a gender perspective is strongly recommended in the proposal and its activities. This implies including among other things, the inclusion of a gender mainstreamed strategy in the framework of the targeted priorities and the establishment of gender-related objective verifiable indicators in the full application form (i.e. in the description of the action and Logical Framework);
– Actions should contain a significant element of capacity building geared towards local Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in a way to guarantee principles of empowerment, accountability, participation and non-discrimination of vulnerable groups and in line with the overall objective of the CSO-LA programme;
– Proposals need to contain an element of analysis and response to the short-medium term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. These elements have to be streamlined through the project and possibly develop innovative activities that build resilience. Also, propose mitigation actions to adapt activities to minimise possible negative impacts, and strengthen preparedness, response and recovery mechanisms
