They will be prompted to take actions by implementing 48 child/youth-led initiatives and building sustainable solutions for each of the previous mentioned topics. At the same time youth 19 CSOs and community groups will be supported to work with children/youth, families, and communities to develop and implement local initiatives on children/ youth empowerment and active participation.
