Regional Programme on Local Democracy in the Western Balkans 2 (ReLOaD2) is a continuation of the EU-UNDP partnership and previously supported initiative – ReLOaD1 implemented from 2017-2020. The programme continues to strengthen participatory democracies and the EU integration process in the Western Balkans (WB) by empowering civil society and youth to actively take part in decision making and by stimulating an enabling legal and financial environment for civil society. It is implemented in the WB region: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), North Macedonia, Kosovo*, Montenegro, and Serbia. Working across the region, ReLOaD2 enhances capacities of local governments and civil society organizations (CSO) to engage in productive partnerships and contribute to improved service delivery and realisation of local priorities in line with development strategies. The project in BiH selected 13 partner local governments (LGs)  and will incite them to improve public funding for CSO in a transparent and development-oriented manner, recognising local needs and embracing a project-based approach. ReLOaD2 will provide technical support to partner LGs in allocating funds to CSOs using the mechanisms for transparent disbursement of funds for CSOs (LOD methodology ). Also, the project will promote youth engagement and support implementation of youth initiatives and will work on facilitating first job experience and internships in partner localities. Therefore, the project supports building capacities of young people involved in ReLOaD2 project activities. 

Trust within the community seems to be the main motivator for stronger involvement. ReLOaD2 will aim at identifying youth community leaders (organisation and individuals) which will promote engagement and implementation of youth initiatives at the level of their communities. Existence of clear selection criteria including strong involvement of young people is a prerequisite for selection. The project team will ensure fair distribution and selection of youth community leaders respecting the principals of gender equality but also offering equal opportunity to young people with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.

ReLOaD2 project used different channels to engage young people to involve themselves in project activities and in challenges in Rudo municipality. However, it was very challenging to motivate young people to participate therefore the project decided to contract qualified motivational speaker. The purpose of this consultancy is to engage youth with positive stories and examples aiming to increase their motivation for participation in community life and more active participation in project activities. She/he is expected to motivate young people to be more engaged in Rudo Municipality. It is expected that young people participating in these motivational sessions are inspired and motivated for promoting youth engagement and implementation of youth initiatives or other community actions within local community.

Travel to Rudo is required.
