Together with WARCHILD, PAX and the UN Fund for Peace, we aim to forge and strengthen a protective social and political environment for youth from Afro-descendant and indigenous communities, especially women, so that local collectives in Cali, Jambaló, Caloto and Quibdó increase their participation in local and regional decision-making environments.
Increase the equal political participation of young people from indigenous and Afro-descendant communities, especially women, so that they can influence peace-building and decision-making processes and face the risks associated with political participation.
Together with project partners, we will impact youth organizations to strengthen their organizational capacities, protection mechanisms and support networks. This will be done in order to reach out to local, regional and traditional authorities to improve their knowledge and perception of the participation of Afro-descendant and indigenous youth, especially women.
