This fund promotes the poverty reduction aims of Millennium Development Goals and the Habitat Agenda for better, more sustainable and equitable towns and cities throughout the developing world. It provides grants of up to $25,000 for new ideas and solutions for job creation, good governance, adequate shelter and secure tenure. Applicant organizations must be led by young people aged 15-32 years and be based in cities or towns in developing countries to qualify for a grant. Support will be provided primarily for those working to improve slum conditions and to raise opportunities for young people growing up in poverty. Projects encouraging gender equality or involving partnerships with the government or the private sector are particularly encouraged.

Erasmus for allInvesting in Europe's education, training and youth
Erasmus for All is the new EU programme for education, training, youth and sport proposed by the European Commission on 23 November 2011. The proposal is now under discussion by the Council (27 Member States) and the European Parliament who will take the final decision.
On 15 February 2013, the EU's education ministers discussed Erasmus for All, the reformed student exchange programme, and the contribution of education to creating jobs and growth. The Council reached a preliminary agreement on the text in 2012, with the exception of provisions on funding, pending a decision on the multiannual financial framework (MFF), the EU's budget priorities for 2014-2020. The European Council reached that agreement on 7-8 February.

The European Youth Foundation (EYF)is a fund established in 1972 by the Council of Europe to provide financial support for European youth activities. I ACTIVITIES WHICH CAN BE FINANCED
The EYF may provide financial support for organising international youth meetings for youth leaders, including seminars, conferences, workshops, camps, festivals, etc. B. Youth activities other than meetings (Category B) Apart from meetings, the types of youth activities eligible for EYF financial support are studies, research projects and the production of information and documentation on youth issues. In this category the Foundation may support, for example: - specialised publications (such as training manuals); In the same category, the EYF can also grant study visits enabling youth organisations and networks to make new contacts in Europe and thus extend partnerships and develop co-operation. C. Administration of international non-governmental youth organisations and networks (Category C) The European Youth Foundation may, on an annual basis, grant international non-governmental youth organisations or networks a contribution to cover part of the general administrative costs involved in running their activities at European level. The Foundation may also contribute to the administrative costs of international non-governmental youth organisations and networks, during a maximum period of three years, in order to help them to establish a European structure (Category C bis). D. Pilot projects (Category D) Since 1 January 2000, the European Youth Foundation (EYF) is able to provide financial support to pilot projects carried out in the form of meetings between young people or activities other than meetings (documentation, research and publications). This facility has been introduced in order to enable the EYF to provide as effective a response as possible to the priority objectives of the Council of Europe's youth policy which, by their very nature, call for means of action which are not subject to excessively rigid rules, conditions and criteria. These priority objectives are: to help young people, particularly disadvantaged young people, deal with the challenges facing them and fulfil their own aspirations; to encourage new forms of youth participation and organisation; to make a contribution to social cohesion, including through the fight against exclusion and the prevention of phenomena affecting young people more particularly; to adapt and broaden programmes and structures in line with changes in society.

THE PRESBYTERIAN HUNGER PROGRAM The Presbyterian Hunger Program is a small program lodged within the Compassion, Peace and Justice ministry area of the General Assembly Mission Council of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Its work extends the solidarity of Presbyterians in the United States of America to poor people around the world through prayer, awareness building activities among US congregations, policy advocacy with the US government, and through grants to support religious institutions and secular organizations working against hunger in the USA and overseas. It does not have any staff in the field and relies strictly on church partners, mission personnel and resource contacts.
