Call for Applications: Terms of Reference (ToR) Financial support to third parties for CSOs targeting youths in Slovenia Preamble: Focus Association for Sustainable Development (the ‘Co-Beneficiary’) is Co-Beneficiary in a pan-European project called „\#Go EAThics: European youth stand up for sustainable food supply chains that respect migrant workers’ rights and reduce climate change, hunger and poverty as key drivers of migration“, co-financed by the European Commission (DG Devco) 1. In order to support the achievement of the objectives of the Action with its main objective to contribute to the commitment of EU youth to sustainable food consumption and production, Focus Association for Sustainable Development is awarding financial support to third parties for implementing a third party scheme. The ‘Applicant’ is the organisation in charge of submitting the third party project proposal, signing the contract with Focus Association for Sustainable Development, receiving the funds from Focus Association for Sustainable Development and reporting on the implementation of the third party scheme. 1 Background Our unjust food system has an enormous impact on climate change, forced migration and poor living and working conditions of farmers, communities, and seasonal workers around the world, especially in the global South. The action therefore aims to mobilise young adults (15-35 years) in the EU to adopt sustainable consumption patterns and actively support sustainable food supply chains, fairtrade relations, respect for human and workers' rights and sustainable development through improved institutional and corporate policies at EU and EU Member State level. Through the cooperation of 16 CSOs from 13 countries, consisting of developmental, consumer, environmental and youth organisations and networks with a strategically chosen geographical focus, we represent Europe's unity in diversity through the project, which will be conceived and implemented in the development of a pan-European campaign. Our central approach for guaranteeing political change and a sustainable change of the target groups’ attitude and behavior, is to engage and empower European youth in a participatory way, making the youth themselves to key actors for campaign development and dissemination. As part of the action, Focus Association for Sustainable Development is managing a third party scheme on national level, which is a mechanism of financial support to third parties. Third parties are civil society organisations (CSOs)2 that are not formal partners or beneficiaries of the action but interested to contribute to its activities. The call will be open to 1 Grant contract-External Actions of the European Union – CSO-LA/2020/411-443 2 CSOs are non-state, not-for-profit, voluntary entities formed by people in the social sphere that are separate from state and market. CSOs represent a wide range of interests and ties. They can include community-based organizations as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) . all smaller and grassroots oriented CSOs based in Slovenia that have a strong track record of reaching out and working with youths. 2 Objective of the Financial Support The overall objective of this financial support to national third parties is to improve access to the target group in Slovenia and to gain expertise and capacities for youth campaigning at national level. The expected result of the call is to spread the planned \#GoEAThical youth campaign via third parties that are already working with youths and are thus reaching a significantly higher number of youths with our messages as well as getting access to engaged youths and young influencers. The applying third party organisation (the Applicant) provides a project proposal that should therefore contribute to the following specific objectives: • improving access to the target group in the home countries of the consortium members • gaining expertise and cap
