 Children & YouthSince inception, GoJ has actively supported proposals related to children and youth issues. These groups often are among the most vulnerable in poor countries. Approved proposals have, inter alia, included assistance to out-of-school children and youth in the Philippines, creation of a youth rehabilitation fund in Uganda, empowerment for the poorest women and young girls in Sri Lanka, and education improvement for indigenous population in Colombia. |  Law & JusticeLaw and Justice has received significant support from GoJ since the program launch. The poor and most vulnerable groups often do not have access to adequate legal support. The JSDF has made such support possible through various highly innovative projects. Financed proposals range from capacity building for the poor in Ecuador, to legal aid for poor women in Jordan and Sri Lanka, to developing a model for delivering justice services in Sierra Leone. |  Voices from the FieldWhen it comes to projects targeting complex social development issues in the field, the best testimonies of success are actually those of people directly affected by these projects. The JSDF is a vehicle that allows grant beneficiaries to be directly involved in the design and implementation of grant-financed activities that make a difference in their lives.
