We successfully concluded a two-day Disability Inclusive Climate Action Training in Freetown on 17–18 December 2025.

The training brought together youth leaders, organisations of persons with disabilities, community actors, and local authorities to strengthen practical skills for inclusive climate action. Sessions focused on climate risks in flood-prone communities, disability rights and inclusion, accessible communication and early warning systems, inclusive evacuation planning, and action planning for schools and communities.

The training was jointly organised by Youth Climate Council Sierra Leone, the Sierra Leone Association of Persons with Albinism (SLAPWA), the African Youth with Disabilities Network Sierra Leone (AYWDN-SL), Freetown City Council, and Sightsavers.

This activity was jointly funded by under the Citizenship and Political Participation (CPP) programme, , and Youth Climate Council Sierra Leone.

Participants developed concrete action plans to improve accessibility, preparedness, and participation of persons with disabilities in climate response. One point stood out. Climate action fails when inclusion is treated as optional.

We thank all organisers, facilitators, and participants for the strong collaboration and leadership shown throughout the training.

YCC SIERRA LEONE CONDUCTS TWO-DAY GRANT WRITING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRAINING FOR YOUTH CLIMATE ORGANIZATIONS

The Youth Climate Council Sierra Leone has successfully concluded its two-day Grant Writing and Project Management Workshop, held from September 29 to 30, 2025.

The training was specifically designed for youth-led climate organizations and benefited 25 groups actively engaged in climate action. These organizations are at the forefront of community-based climate initiatives but often face barriers in accessing funding and managing projects effectively.

Over the course of the workshop, participants strengthened their capacity in key areas of grant writing and project implementation. They worked on developing problem statements, setting SMART objectives, writing persuasive narratives, and designing realistic budgets. Additionally, they gained practical insights into project planning, monitoring and evaluation, accountability, and donor engagement.

The sessions were interactive and hands-on, enabling participants to apply their learning in real time and receive constructive feedback.

Beyond technical knowledge, the workshop fostered collaboration, networking, and peer learning. It brought together passionate young leaders committed to advancing climate solutions equipping them not only to access funding but also to design and implement projects with measurable impact in their communities.

This workshop was made possible with funding support from Bloomberg Philanthropies through the Youth Climate Action Fund, facilitated by Freetown City Council. Their support ensures that youth organizations in Sierra Leone are empowered with the skills and confidence to lead on climate action.
