Apply for African mobility youth solution grant ( $ 5,000 grant)

If you are a young individual aged 18-35 from Africa and actively engaged in developing a climate mobility solution, we invite you to apply for the African Climate Mobility Youth Solutions 2023. Successful applicants have the opportunity to receive funding of up to $5,000 to support their projects over the course of one year.

The Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum, in collaboration with the Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM) Solutions Lab, is pleased to announce a call for applications, seeking youth-led projects addressing climate mobility solutions in Africa. This funding opportunity, with the generous support of the Robert Bosch Stiftung, has been established by young people for young people. The initiative is built on the belief in harnessing the potential of the youth and removing barriers to accessing climate finance, all with the goal of creating innovative solutions that enhance climate resilience and support positive adaptation efforts amid the ongoing climate crisis.

ACMI is on the lookout for passionate and committed youth organizations, groups, and individuals with inventive projects that center on climate resilience in regions susceptible to both rapid and slow onset climate events. They are particularly interested in projects addressing the needs of climate migrants, individuals displaced due to climate change, refugees, and those at risk of displacement. Proposed solutions should align with at least one of the following thematic areas:

1. Addressing loss and damage
2. Climate literacy in disaster-prone and vulnerable communities
3. Storytelling and art for climate awareness
4. Ecosystem restoration in disaster-prone areas
5. Green job creation in vulnerable communities, including IDPs, refugees, migrants, and youth
6. Policy and advocacy

Benefits of the Program:

Selected projects will receive funding of up to $5,000 per project.

Applications from other marginalized groups, including disabled individuals, are also welcome. Up to 5 projects will be selected through this process.
