Dear All,

The UN-HABITAT Urban Youth Fund invites young people based in cities or towns from the developing world to apply for project grants of up to USD 25,000. Applications open 15th February 2012 and close April 15th 2012. We encourage you to forward this information along to your relevant networks. Attached is a brochure containing more information.

To qualify for a grant, the project in question must be led by young people aged 15-32, and be based in cities or towns in developing countries. Grants will be targeted to the young people who need assistance the most, particularly disadvantaged youth in urban slums. Projects promoting gender equality, or involving partnerships with the government, the private sector or civil society are especially encouraged.
