Role overview

The ‘Youth for Climate and Social Action’ project aims to harness the potential of Nepalese youth by giving them opportunities to develop knowledge, skills and expand their networks. By engaging them in climate and social action with local communities and local authorities, the project will create more impactful and sustainable outcomes that address the multifaceted challenges the society faces. Furthermore, through engagement of youth in policy advocacy, the project will bridge the gap in representation of youth voice and involvement in local decision-making processes under those respective areas.

This project aims to build upon British Councils work on developing social leadership of young people by incorporating the learnings from its previous interventions, to create space for young people in Nepal to be positive agents of change to combat climate change and other social challenges.

The selected implementation partner will have to select project beneficiaries, and guide and mentor them to carryout climate and social action in collaboration with communities and local authorities. This will include administering and monitoring climate/social action small grants scheme, disbursed to selected youth in group settings. The implementation partner will also implement youth policy engagement related activities.
