In partnership with Plan UK, African Monitor and YES Ghana, Restless Development is launching theAccountability Advocates Project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. The project will be implemented from April 2015 to June 2016 and has three broad aims:

1. To build the capacity of youth-led community-based organisations (CBOs) to hold governments to account effectively;
2. To demonstrate how, young people can lead, and partner with others in, the monitoring of the SDGs;
3. To promote the exchange of good practice and foster increased sectoral coordination and North-South cooperation.

To lead the delivery of this project we are looking for a group of 20 dedicated, connected and knowledgeable young experts (aged 18-28) representing youth-led CBOs based in a number of African and European countries.

Between May 2015 and June 2016, the 20 selected Accountability Advocates will be trained and mentored to design and implement a national monitoring framework that, together with a national alliance of young people, peer organisations and other youth partners, they can use to hold their government accountable to implementing the new Sustainable Development Goals.
