Background information:

IOM requires consultancy services for the implementation of the UK-funded project “Engage, Connect, Empower: Catalysing Youth Participation to Promote Cohesive and Resilient Communities”, aimed to support participatory action of youth from three regions that recorded the highest youth migration outflows in 2019: Volyn, Zakarpattya, and Ivano-Frankivsk. To effectively promote inclusive democracy in a context-sensitive manner, IOM has identified environment protection as the specific sector to be used as a vector of, and common ground for social action, as it transcends community, political and other social barriers or tensions. By engaging youth through capacity building and support to advocacy initiatives, connecting them to decision-making networks and empowering them to be key agents of change in their communities, IOM’s approach will create opportunities for youth to contribute to the shaping of society and for their communities to become more cohesive and resilient.

One-day training workshops will be conducted for a total of 16 communities comprised of 20-25 participants.
