The project’s strategy towards achieving this change is based on four strategies: i) CSOs will improve their capacity to implement youth-led programmes in urban communities; ii) Youth leaders and youth groups from urban communities will strengthen their capacity to take the lead in community development; iii) Local youth groups will be supported to take action in transforming their communities into more safe, green and creative spaces; and iv) Collaboration between young people, civil society actors, and local and community authorities around youth development priorities.
