The Youth Voices Third-Party-Funding Mechanism (TPFM) is a €10,000 grant initiative under the AU-EU Youth Voices Lab – Power of the Collective to empower youth-led organizations to develop projects that amplify marginalized voices, drive advocacy, and strengthen youth networks.
.
Through this funding, young changemakers can implement initiatives addressing societal challenges while ensuring youth voices influence national, regional, and continental decision-making, including the African Union (AU) and European Union (EU).
.
Youth play a critical role in shaping policies, advocating for social change, and addressing community challenges. However, many youth-led organizations – especially those working with marginalized groups – struggle with limited funding and resources.
.
The TPFM bridges this gap by providing financial support for youth-led initiatives tackling key societal issues, amplifying youth voices in decision-making spaces, strengthening youth movements through cross-border collaboration, and fostering connections between youth in Africa and the African diaspora.
