Description
1) Objective
To strengthen the knowledge management component of the Regional SRHR Fund and realization of meaningful youth involvement, the Fund established a Youth Led Research Initiative (YLRI), including Youth Researchers Academies (YRA) in Kenya, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, in the first phase of the Fund. The YRA aims to support capacity strengthening of young people to undertake targeted research/evidence generation on challenges and solutions to improving ASRH service delivery. Such targeted youth-led research can enable young people to promote and advocate for improved access for adolescents and youth SRHR services, as well as inform the provision of SRHR services. Youth-led research as a programmatic approach can also be used to increase adolescent and youth capacity, participation and leadership within the ASRHR field and broader SRHR discourse as well as their relationships in their community.
The Regional SRHR Fund wishes to continue building on the successes from the first phase of the program by issuing a new Call for Proposals for the first cohort of the YRA in this second phase of the Fund. A grant will be provided to an organization/institution proposing an innovative way to implement a Youth Researchers Academy (YRA). The YRA will focus on strengthening the capacity of young people to undertake targeted research and evidence generation on challenges and solutions to improving ASRH service delivery.
2) Eligibility
Applicants should be based or able to work in the focus countries and be able to host a maximum of 15 young people to attend the YRA.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
4) Budget
This multi-year grant supports an applicant or institutions/organization to carry out a Youth Researchers Academy (YRA) at a national level to a maximum of USD 100,000 (Year 1: USD 50, 000 and Year 2: USD 50,000).
