We (Copper Rose Zambia, IYAFP, and other youth-led organisations, with the support of FP2030) are taking the movement for equitable partnerships with young people to the next level! Together, we will be supporting and pushing the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) actors (especially, governments, iNGOs, and donors) to make concrete progress in the near term in the following areas:
- Implementation of equitable agreements and partnerships between youth, youth-led organizations, and other institutions, by adjusting subcontracts, memoranda of understanding, terms of reference, and ensuring fair compensation for work;
- Making resources more easily available by co-designing new funding mechanisms with young people and revising procurement policies and existing mechanisms;
- Facilitating organizational development, not just technical strengthening to strengthen youth-led organizations, networks, and movements based on their identified goals and needs and improve non-youth organizations and institutions’ ability to establish and sustain partnerships with young people.
Are you a local youth-led organization, network, or coalition based in Africa, Asia, Latin America/Caribbean, or the Middle East?
Want to help make these changes? Great! Become a Movement Builder!
Who should apply? Local youth-led organizations, networks, or coalitions (registered or unregistered) based in the Africa, Asia, Latin America/Caribbean, or the Middle East. Your leadership, staff, and volunteer must be 30 years old or younger. You should nearly exclusively work in your own community or country, less internationally.
What would you be doing? You will be collaborating with other youth-led efforts (and other non-youth partners) to:
- Co-create the vision and direction of the group and larger movement;
- Co-develop communications/campaign to influence the SRHR community;
- Co-develop recommendations for the SRHR community;
- Author and collect articles, blogs, videos, etc.
- Hold events/meetings to influence key stakeholders;
- Co-create, develop, and implement, other activities that the group collectively determines.
How much will our youth-led organization, network, or coalition be compensated for our valuable contributions? You will be paid $1200 USD per month from August to March (possibly to April) for what will amount to approximately three working days per month (in blocks of a couple hours at a time).
