Communication Activities
As part of a structured advocacy mission to Brussels and the Netherlands, a series of targeted communication and outreach activities were conducted with EU institutions and stakeholders. These activities included bilateral meetings and policy dialogues with key EU actors, including officials from the European Commission (notably DG ECHO and DG MENA), the European External Action Service (MENA and Human Rights divisions), and Members and Secretariat of the European Parliament, particularly within the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) and the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM). In addition, roundtable discussions and stakeholder engagement events were organized with European civil society platforms and networks, including gender-focused policy platforms and humanitarian advocacy groups, to exchange insights on humanitarian response, safeguarding, gender equality, and human rights in conflict-affected settings. The mission also involved engagement with EU Member State representations and ministries of foreign affairs, facilitating policy-level discussions on humanitarian aid priorities, external action, and protection frameworks. Furthermore, advocacy and awareness-raising efforts were undertaken through participation in public actions, coordination with NGO consortia, and potential media outreach to highlight key humanitarian and protection concerns and promote alignment with EU policy frameworks. These communication activities collectively contributed to strengthening dialogue with EU institutions, informing policy discussions, and advancing evidence-based advocacy aligned with EU humanitarian, human rights, and gender equality priorities.

Organisation Members
Save Youth Future Society (SYFS) is a non-membership-based organisation and therefore does not have individual or institutional members. However, SYFS works with a network of local community-based organisations (CBOs) and partner entities through project-based collaborations and sub-granting arrangements. These affiliated entities support the implementation of programmes in areas such as psychosocial support, education, child protection, and humanitarian assistance. Affiliated entities may vary depending on the project and geographic area of implementation and are selected based on technical capacity, community presence, and compliance with SYFS partnership and safeguarding standards.
