Invest Funding Scheme in Malta

The Invest Funding Scheme, provided by Agenzija Zghazagh, granted the opportunity to 9 youth organisations to further develop the services they provide to young people. The scheme is aligned with the National Youth Policy Towards 2030's strategic goals, seeking to expand and enhance support for voluntary youth organisations and effective youth work practice.

Youth organisations that received funding through the Invest Funding Scheme will be prioritising quality youth service, youth information work as multipliers of Agenzija Zghazagh, values of diversity and inclusion, advocating meaningful youth participation, and fostering European citizenship through participation in Erasmus+ and ESC initiatives.

The Access to Funding Grant is a three-year cycle grant that supports a portion of the youth organisation's annual operating expenses. These expenses may include professional services to boost the youth service provided by the organisation, expenses related to the administration of the organisation, rent, and utilities. By supporting youth organisations, the Invest Funding Scheme helps to ensure that young people have access to quality services and information that is relevant to their needs and interests. The scheme also fosters the development of effective youth work practice and encourages organizations to prioritise values of diversity, inclusion, and meaningful youth participation.

Overall, the Invest Funding Scheme is an important initiative that helps to promote the well-being and development of young people in Malta. By providing financial support to youth organisations, the scheme ensures that young people have access to the services and resources they need to thrive and reach their full potential.
