Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung

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.
