Overview
The proposed grant would enable Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung (DSW) to advocate for improved access to sexual and reproductive health programs in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. DSW plans to focus on ensuring that reproductive health programs are adequately funded and that expenditures both at the national and subnational levels align with budget allocations. DSW also intends to strengthen the capacity of local NGOs, including those led by youth and women, to provide community feedback to local policymakers and to engage in budget and policy processes.

Grants to this Grantee
for support to strengthen youth advocacy leadership in East Africa
This grant to Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung (DSW) will enhance the Strengthening Local Advocacy Leadership in East Africa project, which supports youth-led civil society organizations in Kenya and Tanzania to implement coordinated advocacy on family planning and reproductive health. This funding allows DSW to extend the project, increase the amount of subgrant awards to youth-led organizations, and substantially expand its tailored capacity development and shared learning activities. Additionally, DSW will increase youth advocates’ visibility in global convenings, and ensure they receive professional mentoring to share insights and lessons from their locally driven advocacy strategies.
for support to strengthen youth advocacy leadership in East Africa
This grant will support Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung (DSW) to work with civil society organizations in Kenya and Tanzania to implement effective and coordinated advocacy on family planning and reproductive health. To build on its existing expertise on youth empowerment issues in East Africa, DSW will prioritize working with organizations led by, or focused on, youth. DSW is planning to provide advocacy trainings to about a dozen organizations and award subgrants to up to four organizations per country. DSW will provide ongoing mentoring support and other technical assistance to enable the selected subgrantees to implement locally driven advocacy strategies.
