Alphanso Spencer, UP Unity & Peace Community Coordinator, wants to increase attendance in online classes from 12 to 15 young people to 25.
Two community-based organisations (CBOs) in the UP Unity & Peace programme, coordinated by Fight for Peace, have received grants to help their communities in the current harsh economic climate amid the coronavirus pandemic. Funding for the community grants was provided by the Inter-American Foundation (IAF).
Specifically, the funding aims to strengthen community-based organisations’ ability to design and implement collaborative programmes to help community members in the long term. It also aims to ensure that the voices of women and young people are included in the process.
