The Cooperation Grants offer a unique opportunity for youth-led organisations to engage in policy-making and foster cross-continental collaboration between Africa and Europe.
.
This grant provides an exceptional platform for young people to lead meaningful projects, influence policy, and strengthen networks across continents, combining the energy and perspectives of youth with the strategic impact of international partnerships.
.
Benefits
- Each grant lasts for 12 months and provides funding of 50,000 euros for consortiums that include at least one African and one European organisation.
Eligibility:
- Eligible applicants must form a consortium of at least two organisations, with one based in one of twelve eligible African countries — Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia (Somaliland region), Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, or Zimbabwe — and one established in the European Union. Independent applications are not accepted, as the programme emphasizes collaborative, cross-continental partnerships.
- Participating organisations must be non-profits, operating as a Trust, Community-Based Organisation, or Non-Governmental/Civil Society Organisation with a clear social mission. Youth leadership is central, with all governance members aged 18 to 35 and actively involved in decision-making, while over 80% of staff designing and implementing project activities must also be young people.
