The Youth Fund: COVID-19 Action (TYF) is a new fund to support youth action around the world, where the decisions on which projects are funded, are made by the youth.
The fund is supported by the UN Major Group for Children and Youth, ActionAid and Restless Development in collaboration with UNFPA.
This first call for applications will focus on supporting actions taken by registered youth-led organisations to tackle the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action's Youth Compact Champions programme.
