2) The ideas must focus on the theme “Environmental Conservation” & “Youth Engagement in Climate Action Initiatives” and should highlight the role of youths in the same cause. Each idea must compulsorily ensure the aspect of gender equality and social inclusion during its implementation.

3) Under the first scrutiny, a total of three ideas from each province will be selected for the accelerator program and one idea from each province will finally get the seed fund of NRs 50,000 each for implementation.

4) If your idea is selected in your respective province, you must compulsorily collaborate with the local government in which the project will be implemented.

5) Each idea must focus on the aspect of “match-funding”, meaning the idea must have the scope of raising an additional NRs 50,000 through collaboration and sponsorships. Such ideas will be prioritized.
