How can we receive funding for activities?
What kind of non-financial support can we expect to receive?
The spirit of the EYD2015 is an inclusive and participatory one. As such the process of planning this year has continued in this vein. The input and contribution that CSOs have made to this process has been integral to the development of the Year. CSOs/NGOs are in a powerful position to shape this year and make it your own. Ways to participate include:
- Preparing new events to promote the EYD as well as linking existing events with the Year.
- Planning and coordinating with other CSOs/NGOs to get the messages of the EYD out.
- Offering updates, feedback and ideas on your processes of preparation.
- Sharing key moments, advice and experiences from past mobilisation efforts with other stakeholders.
- Using new and existing platforms of communication to promote the EYD2015.
- Use the hashtag #EYD2015 on social media (now and throughout 2015)
