Micro-Grant Program

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Arab Youth Sustainable Development Network (AYSDN) invites qualified individual youth and youth-led organizations in Yemen to submit proposals under the Youth Climate Justice Micro-Grant Program. This Call for Proposals (CFP) is issued under CFP Reference YCJF-YEM-CFP-2026 and forms part of AYSDN's sub-grant commitment within the Youth Climate Justice Fund (YCJF). Yemen is among the world's most climate-vulnerable countries, with communities disproportionately affected by drought, flooding, food insecurity, and displacement. Young people are both primary victims of this crisis and indispensable agents of locally-driven solutions. This program seeks to unlock that potential by providing direct financial support to youth-led climate initiatives across three thematic pillars.
