Youth Safety

If the proposal indicates direct contact with children or youth, it also outlines compliance with international and local laws for working with children and youth, and provides documentation of the local laws in the annex.
The proposal demonstrates how they will ensure the safe engagement of young people in all of the project’s activities.
The proposal demonstrates that any adults who will be working in close contact with young people have been properly vetted and trained.
The proposal outlines an action protocol in the case that incidents occur relating to the physical and psychological safety of young people.

Application Process

Application will be submitted on the Fluxx Grantee portal after April 15, 2022. Revised application and reporting forms will be used.

After submission, the application will be processed with the following steps:

Review and feedback of proposals (14 days)
Applicant receives and engages with feedback of proposal from the community and regional committee (10 days)
