"Youth Led Action" project
The “Youth Led Action” project aims to empower marginalised young men and women to become transformative leaders within their societies and to combat the shrinkage of civic spaces in Palestine by creating a set of platforms for social mobilisation. This will open channels of communication between different social fault lines and challenge power dynamics, while addressing youth exclusion. The project works to pave the way for structural change.
The “Youth Led Action” project is achieved as part of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Development (BMZ) funded programme Strengthening the Influence of Palestinian Refugees on their Living Conditions (PART II), which is implemented by GIZ in partnership with REFORM.
Budget: 750.000.00 Euros for 2022-2025.
