4. How is the selection process conducted?
A Selection Committee set by YOUNGO will be in charge of selection the
youth participants based on the applicants
written application.
This process will be transparent and fairly conducted. The
Committee’s final decision will not be subject to
claim. The Selection Committee is not interfering in the
administration of the grants as this will be done by
Jeunes Volontaires pour l’Environnement
(JVE), a Togolese youth-led organisation that has been selected by
YOUNGO to administrate the funds in accordance
with the UNFCCC Secretariat’s rules. JVE also is not responsible for

Selected participants will be notified via email and at the phone
number they will provide in their applications

you to check your email during that period as
visa and travel arrangements will start as soon as the selection is finalized.
For any further information or any questions, please contact the Facilitating
Committee of this grant at: in...@youthclimate.org
