INTRODUCTION
In 2018, Save the Children International is embarking on a new programme supported by Save the Children Denmark. The DANIDA Civil Society LOT grant, is aimed at strengthening youth engagement with regional bodies and the empowerment of youth networks in the Horn of Africa (HoA). The programme is expected to contribute to ensuring that governments in the Horn of Africa create enabling conditions that make the region a better place for children and youth to learn, be protected from violence and engage in decisions that affect them and their region. Ultimately, the programme is expected to build children, youth and civil society organisation's capacity to influence policy processes and outcomes and position them as critical actors in making the HoA a better place for children and youth. The programme is expected to contribute to ensuring that governments in HoA (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia/Somaliland, Kenya and South Sudan) create conditions that make the region a better place for children and youth to learn, be protected from violence, engage in decisions that affect them and their region, and thrive. Ultimately, the programme's impact will be the realization of the rights of children and youth (boys and girls) through strengthened state accountability and civil society organization at the regional level.
CSO SCOPING AND MAPPING OBJECTIVE
The objective of this scoping and mapping exercise is to identify regional CSOs and youth networks, that will partner with Save the Children International East and Southern Africa Regional Office (SCI-ESARO) and work closely with the African Union and IGAD. The partnership will be focused on CSO capacity strengthening for improved advocacy for children and youth rights. The programme will focus on providing relevant capacity and technical support for the CSOs and youth networks identified to become independent, sustainable and democratic advocates for youth rights in the Horn of Africa.
