Deadline: January 20, 2025
Applications are invited for the European Union Youth Sounding Board Uganda 2025. The European Union (EU) recognizes the importance of youth engagement, participation, and inclusion as a key aspect to its external action and international partnership agenda. As part of this commitment, the EU seeks to amplify the voices of young people and ensure their perspectives are integrated into the design and implementation of EU policies and programs in partner countries such as Uganda.
To advance this agenda, the EU Delegation to Uganda established a Youth Sounding Board (YSB), composed of twenty Ugandan youth. This initiative aims to provide a platform for youth to actively contribute to shaping EU-Uganda relations, fostering a more inclusive and responsive approach to development cooperation.
The YSB is a platform aimed at ensuring the EU development cooperation is more participatory, relevant, and effective for young people in Uganda. The YSB seeks to create opportunities for young people and youth organizations to express their views, connect with each other and the EU Delegation and EU Member States in Uganda. Ugandan youth between 18-30 years are eligible for this call for applications to the Season Two YSB after which a selection will be made that ensures gender, thematic and geographical balance among others.
