Project Overview: The M4Y project continues, and will now increase the impact with a total of 15 municipalities in Kosovo.

The project is supported by the Japan Social Development Fund and the Ministry for Local Government and led by the World Bank. The mission of the project is to empower young individuals aged 15 to 24 in Kosovo by fostering their active participation in community development.

  • Youth Initiatives: Together with 15 municipalities, we will support youth-driven projects that tackle local issues.
  • Community Impact: Our goal is to successfully complete 100 community projects, all powered by the passion and dedication of Kosovo's youth.

Targeted Municipalities: For the continuation of the M4Y project, more municipalities are being added. ACDC will be in charge of the following municipalities: Ranilug, Srbica/Skenderaj, Vučitrn/Vushtrri, Gračanica/Graçanicë, and Kosovo Polje/Fushe Kosove. These municipalities will experience the positive change brought about by M4Y.

Key Highlights:

  • Youth Empowerment: Through training, we're equipping young people with the skills to identify and tackle local issues head-on.
  • Skills that Count: Youth will gain practical experience through volunteer work and engagement in municipalities, boosting their employability skills.

Our Goals:

  1. Inclusion: We're striving to create a more inclusive environment for marginalized youth in vulnerable Kosovo communities.
  2. Local Support: M4Y seeks to meet the demand for youth services at the grassroots level, ensuring accessible resources and support.
  3. Skill Building: By participating in M4Y, youth will develop soft skills essential for personal growth and future employment.

Project Funding and Partners: The entire program is supported by the Government of Japan through the Japan Social Development Fund, and with the involvement of the Republic of Kosovo's Ministry of Local Government and Administration, along with the Community Development Fund (CDF).
