Resume:
The overall objective of this intervention is to strengthen the organizational capacity of YAIM to make it an attractive partner organization for government institutions and national and international organizations at the same time as improving its capacity in mobilizing target group of young men through football activities. Worldwide, the issue of migration from South Saharan Africa to Europe has become a highly politicized and controversial matter. Thousands of young Gambian boys and girls have left for the ‘backway’ – a popular Gambian expression for the overland journey towards Europe. The ‘backway’ relates to notions of traveling with limited funds without the required papers during parts of the route and with tremendous risk taking. The aim of YAIM is to increase awareness on irregular migration and to help reduce the incidences of irregular migration in the Gambia.
