The partnership between Strängnäs Municipality in Sweden and Entebbe Municipal Council in Uganda focuses on tackling climate change and enhancing youth participation in local democracy. The project aims to raise awareness and involve young people in schools and workplaces in climate-smart initiatives, addressing the lack of systematic youth engagement in climate action.
Strängnäs contributes experience in youth engagement, while Entebbe offers strong leadership and collaboration expertise. The project aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) and highlights gender equality.
During the inception phase, the municipalities will engage stakeholders, conduct virtual meetings, and organize mutual visits to identify challenges and co-create solutions. This collaboration seeks to foster knowledge exchange, strengthen local governance, and empower communities to address environmental challenges sustainably.
