RYCOgnizing YPS

RYCOgnizing YPS is a RYCO granting scheme dedicated to supporting Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the Western Balkans that work with youth to advance the Youth, Peace, and Security (YPS) agenda. This initiative empowers CSOs to scale up youth-led initiatives through actions focused on the five YPS pillars: Participation, Protection, Prevention, Partnerships, and Disengagement and Reintegration. The scheme places a strong emphasis on supporting youth-led and youth-responsive projects that bring tangible, localized impact at the municipal level, particularly by enhancing youth security and engagement in governance and policy-making processes. The call is part of the broader RYCO program aimed at fostering peacebuilding, reconciliation, and cooperation among youth in the region. It is implemented by the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO) and financed by the German Federal Foreign Office.
