The national government opened this Friday, April 1, the 'PLant' call, an initiative through which they will finance 580 youth projects that are part of councils, platforms, collectives, practices, organizations and youth patches.
As announced by the Presidential Adviser for Youth, Juan Sebastián Arango Cárdenas, the call will be addressed to young people between the ages of 14 and 28 who belong to the population of African descent, women, indigenous, LGBTIQ+, with disabilities, migrants and victims of the armed conflict.
The initiative, which was born in partnership between the Presidential Council for Youth and the Resilient Youth Program #EfectoColectivo, of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the non-profit organization ACDI/VOCA, aims to help more than 3,000 young people in Colombia, with projects that promote youth leadership and participation.
The director of the Resilient Youth Program #EfectoColectivo, of USAID and ACDI/VOCA, Ricardo Amaya, also announced that, of the 580 youth projects selected in the call, 80 will be directly funded by these non-profit organizations.
“We believe that youth have ideas and proposals that benefit their communities. That is why we bet on the PLant, because it is an initiative that gives them autonomy in their projects and also seed capital to make it happen. Of the 580 patches and youth organizations benefited, 80 will be directly supported by the Program in the 28 municipalities where we have a presence,” said Amaya.
