Who can apply
Uganda is explicitly one of the 12 African Youth Action Lab focus countries. Applicants must be formally registered nonprofit trusts, community-based organisations, NGOs or civil-society organisations with a clear social mission, organisational bank account and governance structure. Organisations must be youth-led: governance and primary decision-making must be held by people aged 18 to 35, more than 80% of those directly involved in activities must be young people, and all staff implementing the proposed project must be aged 18 to 35.
About this opportunity
The AU-EU Youth Action Lab Innovation Grants support youth organisations testing, adapting, improving or scaling innovative responses to global and community challenges. Thirteen Innovation Grants are expected under the current call.
Benefits
Each selected organisation receives exactly EUR 42,000 for a 12-month project running from January through December 2027. Grantees also receive mentorship and capacity-development support and opportunities to showcase their solutions to peers, decision-makers and stakeholders across Africa and Europe.
Requirements
Applicants must propose an innovative activity that creates tangible local benefit, contributes to longer-term systems, policy or practice change, demonstrates potential for sustainable impact or replication and generates learning for youth actors and other stakeholders. Applicants must follow the official Funding Manual and submit as an individual eligible organisation.
How to apply
Read the Innovation Grant Funding Manual and eligibility criteria, prepare the organisational and project proposal and submit it through the AU-EU Youth Action Lab\'s ON Grip application platform. Applications must be submitted by 2026-09-23 at 13:00 Central African Time.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
