YuWaah (Generation Unlimited in India) at UNICEF and the 10to19: Dasra Adolescents Collaborative have partnered together for a Joint Call for Solutions and are seeking to support a pool of solution providers with the potential of creating transformational delta change that can be accelerated to positively impact youth leadership, economic opportunities, and civic participation in India.
