Is this worth your time?
A strong option for an organised Kenyan youth team with local knowledge and a credible implementation partner. Start with a specific dangerous street or mobility barrier and a change the budget can actually deliver.
Ubunifu editorial assessment, not an organiser eligibility decision.A stronger fit when...
Youth teams in Kenya, India or Mexico led by a qualifying Global Youth Coalition member aged 18-35. A registered partner organisation and commitment letter are required. The project should address a local, evidence-based mobility problem.
Pause or look elsewhere when...
An applicant elsewhere in Africa, a duplicate team submission, or an awareness-only idea without the required practical road-safety approach. The early-bird date is not the final cutoff.
What the support actually means
Up to USD 5,500 for a selected road-safety or sustainable-mobility project, with technical support and networks. Administration is capped at 5 percent; this is not unrestricted company seed capital.
Costs and commitments: English application and supporting documents; planned project implementation during February-November 2027. Allow team time for onboarding and delivery. Confirm any travel or incidental expenses separately.

How selection or access works
Evaluation is followed by due diligence and pitch stages. Early submission may receive the stated early-bird advantage, but neither membership nor a completed form guarantees selection.

Questions to confirm before committing
- Permitted project costs and the administration cap.

Check before committing
The final deadline is 15 November at 23:00 CET; 5 November is early-bird only. An onboarding/residency paragraph still refers to January-February 2026, before this call, so its year must be confirmed. No travel subsidy is assumed.
Listing, saving and community ratings do not verify the organiser, guarantee eligibility or promise selection. Check the official terms before committing time or money.
