The project was implemented between September 2020 to August 2021 in Partnership with Pan-Africa Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA). The project aimed at strengthening African Civil Society Engagement in International Climate Change Dialogue and Response Strategies and Sustaining Climate Advocacy in The Era of Pandemic. The project promoted a bottom-up engagement through working directly with grassroots members and taking advantage of social media and digital platforms.

The project worked with a total of 30 Youth as Digital Activists (YDAs), and 30 Community Resources Persons (CRPs) from Morogoro, Rukwa, Dodoma, Dar es salaam, Singida, Mwanza, Mbeya, Kilimanjaro, Arusha, and Mtwara regions in Tanzania mainland and Unguja in Zanzibar.

Youth capacitated to serve as intergenerational facilitators of community outreach and advocacy campaigns to raise awareness and support for inclusive green growth in post-COVID 19 recovery plans, NDCs, and SDGs.

As a result, the project increased the active participation of different stakeholders in Online learning and dialogue on FORUMCC platforms, increased the capacity of the youth on packaging digital information & content for public sensitization, and more members joined FORUMCC platform.
