The WYDE Civic Engagement project is a component of the Women and Youth in Democracy Initiative (WYDE) by the European Commission. The project seeks to enhance the involvement of youth in democratic processes at national, regional, and global levels:
- Advocacy and Research, focusing on youth-led research to advance global conversations on democratic participation.
- Capacity building of civil society and youth leaders, with five clusters supporting various youth-led initiatives worldwide;
- and Quick Impact Actions, offering country-level support for urgent needs in youth political inclusion and participation.
The project aims to empower Youth voices, foster international cooperation, and address the gaps in evidence on youth political engagement.
