$15 million available to a Ghanaian organization to empower youth and advance social, economic and civic development.

Applications close July 26th for this single grant and will be awarded to an organization in Ghana with a defined youth-led and locally-led program that will improve employability, strengthen civic engagement and improve access to essential services. USAID’s Positive Youth Development approach should be employed to identify and address “new and impactful interventions.”

Experience in previous projects or links to existing projects will help an applicant, with an especial focus on results and lessons learned in previous activities in northern Ghana and work being supported now by donors and Ghana’s government.
