Empowering Urban Youth For Climate Action
FoodWave is a European project involving 16 countries and a network of 28 partners. FoodWave aims to create a new alliance between institutions, civil society and young people for an inclusive and sustainable future for cities, focusing on the importance of sustainable food systems at the urban level and the adoption of responsible practices and lifestyles by youth for climate change mitigation.
The “Food Wave” project aims to increase the knowledge, awareness and engagement of young people between the ages of 15 and 35 on sustainable food consumption and production practices for the mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
The project involves the development of activities to raise awareness and involve public opinion through: the co-creation of information materials for the implementation of information and mobilization campaigns, actions to engage young people online and offline, training courses aimed at young activists, activities aimed at young people from peripheral urban neighbourhoods, micro-financing for small youth associations and organisations, development of online and offline discussion platforms, youth exchanges between the northern and southern countries of the world, creation of food influencer networks , a pan-European campaign across digital channels, European Union Film Festivals, high-level events, collaboration with existing youth participation initiatives and visual art competitions.
Young people from 16 different European nations pledge to change their food consumption habits and actively promote the shift towards urban food systems that are ecological and inclusive, recognizing the effort of the European Union in mitigating the change climate and contributing to it.
Our Activities
The final independent external evaluation of the FoodWave initiative is aimed at analysing the quantity and quality of results to support the project evaluation to be carried out by the European Commission. The analysis focuses on the progress of the activities and the level of achievement of the expected results, without neglecting the description of obstacles and possible mitigation and adaptation measures, so as to provide the commissioning body and the partners of the initiative, suggestions aimed at improving the implementation of the project, considering also some management aspects. A work plan is implemented that focuses on the participation of the stakeholders involved by stimulating useful reflection for the development of possible future designs. The evaluation exercise is designed following the “theory-based” approach, integrating the critical reconstruction of the plan with some insights aimed at enriching the understanding of the most relevant practices that emerged; the proposed method follows the DAC evaluation criteria to which is added, given the specificity of the project, the criterion of “European added value.”
To carry out the evaluation activities, in addition to document analysis, information is collected through the following survey methods:
- Semi-structured interviews, in order to gather opinions, perceptions, information and data from partner organizations’ contact persons and key stakeholders, supplemented if necessary by group seminars/discussions in order to enhance group dynamics and related contributions;
- On-line questionnaires in order to involve the widest possible number of stakeholders to gather qualitative elements;
- Group seminars/discussions to gather “broad” and qualitative evaluative elements;
- Visits to some project countries and participation in project-sponsored events.

CONSOLIDATING: OTHER PROJECTS
Fight against energy poverty: evaluation of the Doniamo Energia Calls
Through the evaluation of the Bandi Energia (Energy Call for Proposals), promoted by Fondazione Cariplo and Banco dell’Energia, we contribute to the development of intervention models finalised at avoiding that disadvantaged families in the Lombardy descend into structural poverty. We do this by focusing on promoting skills and territorial networks.
School and gender stereotypes: an innovative intervention model
With the Be.St. – Beyond Stereotypes project we promote the development of a systemic approach across primary schools in order to facilitate relationship building amongst children based on respect and the acknowledgement of diversity in order for future generations to become more aware of their potentials.
Zero in conduct: in-formative actions driven by young people, teachers and citizens to reduce environmental impact
Aim of the project is to provide tools and new spaces of dialogue in order to help the actors of the formal and informal field activate themselves through educational and training activities to fight climate change, after deeply understanding its mechanisms. The project wants to develop the transversal skills, to increase the cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural dimension of the youngsters’ learning in order to make them protagonists of the ecological transition, thus to support the “individual and collective change to create a more sustainable and just world”. The Action engages educational and local institutions, young people and citizens.
The project consists in three main components/results:
- Young People and teachers gain more tools to understand Climate Change:
- Local institutions and CSOs increase their knowledge and ability to activate citizens, addressing them towards the ecological transition;
- Citizens are encouraged to participate in the ecological transition and the fight against Climate Change.
The project will develop Peer Education and Changemaker territorial paths. Both of them will allow the acquisition and the strengthening of information linked to local/national/global programs and strategies for ecological transition and the reduction of the environmental impact, active participation and decision-making processes. The understanding of these issues will allow young people to take action themselves, encourage their peers to be the protagonists of the ecological transition and local urban regeneration.
Young people will be engaged through exchange experiences such as The Climate Training Camp and the Open Call to Action. The Open Call to Action will allow them to send their ideas to answer the local environmental challenge. A commission of judges from the Bcorp and Benefit field, institutions and professionals of sustainability will evaluate them.
Local administrations and CSOs will be trained not only on policies and opportunities linked to the ecological transition but also on tools and good practices for youth and citizen engagement for a real participation in the decision-making processes.
Further beneficiaries of the training, at national level, will be the Teachers, who will receive information and materials to strengthen their knowledge and methodologies.
The project foresees, as a third result, a National Communication Campaign and Exchange initiatives promoted by the beneficiaries to make the citizens active members of the fight against climate change. To meet this goal, we also want to develop a Re-Granting activity to allow a selection of CSOs to develop their own local initiatives of awareness, advocacy and mobilization. The final national Event will be a further opportunity of exchange and dissemination at the institutional level.

NOPLANETB HUB: co-programming against climate change
NOPLANETB is the first Italian HUB that aims to promote the spread of sustainable lifestyles by incubating, co-designing and financing communication, advocacy and awareness-raising ideas and initiatives promoted by small organizations of Italian civil society and aimed at raising awareness of citizens on the topic of climate change
Training and support services to the DG ECHO staff and partners
For over 15 years we have been supporting The Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) so as to facilitate a proper and transparent management of humanitarian interventions and an efficient and effective collaboration between the donor (EU) and the funding recipients (NGOs, International Organisations and Member States’ Specialised Agencies
We repair objects, we recreate relationships. At the school of circular economies at Lab Barona
In 2022-23, the 4th and 5th classes of the Capponi primary school and the 1st of the Gramsci middle school, are involved in educational activities and workshops at school and at the Lab Barona Repair Cafè with the aim of contributing to increase knowledge and awareness among pupils on the importance of environmental sustainability in everyday life. In particular, teachers and students will work on the theme of the circular economy
Starting from the circular economy, the project promotes attention to the new life of objects, through re-use and repair. The project will also be an opportunity to socialize and exchange experiences, to clash the disposable culture, to promote the good practice of reuse and therefore reduce the amount of waste produced.
The project works closely with the Lab Barona Repair Cafè, a space located in via Ettore Ponti 15, a few meters from the Capponi and Gramsci schools, launched in 2021 by La Cordata with the aim of offering the neighborhood a space where objects can be repaired, materials can be recycled giving new life to objects and at the same time a place for the exchange of skills, relationships and opportunities to create solidarity and mutual aid. With the project we want to strengthen the bond started with the neighborhood and create a new channel of collaboration with the surrounding schools in order to raise awareness and activate the inhabitants on circular economy issues. In this sense, the identified target, young students between the ages of 9 and 12, could be a driving force for the involvement of parents and potential new users of the Lab Barona Repair Cafè who will be able, even at the end of the project, to continue to have a place that in the neighborhood offers the possibility to repair, recycle, reuse.
Objectives to be achieved:
The project aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of primary and secondary school students on the importance of environmental sustainability in everyday life to clash the ongoing climate and environmental crisis and promote understanding of their role as protagonists of the ecological transition.
In particular:
- The project intends to increase the knowledge and skills of teachers and pupils of the Capponi primary school and Gramsci lower secondary school on issues related to environmental sustainability, in particular on the concept of circular economy, reuse and recycling.
- The project intends to promote the activation of pupils and teachers also with the involvement of the educational community to identify concrete solutions for daily actions that respect the environment.
To achieve the objectives, the three main activities are: teacher training, student training and laboratory activities. On the sidelines there is the activation of the “educating community” or the network of organizations and associations of the territory and in particular of the most peripheral part of the Barona district, which are informed, involved and activated to support the laboratory activities

In Eswatini we support human rights associations through the promotion of knowledge and participatory methods, thus facilitating the work of local networks and the interaction between different public and private entities operating in the African country.
Enhancing WFP staff’s understanding of EC funding
World Food Programme (WFP) is one of the most important partner of the European Union and needs to keep its staff constantly updated on the EU rules and procedures. For this reasons it requested PuntoSud to develop some eLearning modules on the use of the DG ECHO Single Form and on the management of International Development Cooperation projects
Thanks to its long-lasting experience in supporting DG ECHO partners, in 2016 PuntoSud was contracted by the World Food Programme (WFP) – Brussels office to develop an ad hoc eLearning course on the use of the ECHO eSingle Form.
The aim of this course was to give a specific and practical overview on how to fill in the Single Form format at proposal and reporting stages and to ensure WFP Country Offices’ key staff to develop quality proposals to be submitted to DG ECHO. The eLearning was developed by PuntoSud experts in cooperation with WFP relevant staff and published in WFP learning platform.
After this successful experience, in 2018 WFP requested to develop another eLearning course on how to deal with EU development funding opportunities and Grant implementation. Its main aim was to inform country offices’ staff on how to negotiate with EU delegations to get grants and how to manage these grants according to EU rules. Also this course was developed by PuntoSud and published in WFP learning platform.
Both courses were updated by PuntoSud experts in 2021-2022 on request of WFP based on novelties on the EU rules and procedures.
These elearning modules were developed using Articulate 360 Rise and Storyline applications. The courses were enriched by photos and videos (from Articulate and WFP archives), interactive tools (e.g. reading in tabs, drag and drop features) and quizzes (multiple choices, drag and drops and games).

Enhancing FAO staff’s in the management of EU resources
The PuntoSud–Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) capacity building program was designed to ensure a smooth EU-FAO long-lasting cooperation with the common goal of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger around the world.
The EU has always been one of the major resource partners of FAO.
In the period 2008-2016, FAO entrusted several projects to PuntoSud with the objective to strengthening FAO’s staff (FAO Country Representatives, technical and operational staff active in Latin America, Middle East, Central and South-East Asia, Africa and Europe) with regard of the mobilisation of EU resources for FAO development programme worldwide.
The main project activities may be summarised as follows:
- Study and analysis of the European institutions, their decision-making mechanisms and policies on international development cooperation and humanitarian aid.
- Development, dissemination and updating of a “flexible” training module (adaptable to the needs of the various FAO offices in the world) delivered in 29 sessions with the aim of facilitating the FAO-EU cooperation at all stages of the project cycle.
- The development of an eLearning to facilitate the work of the FAO regional offices on a continuous basis.
This learning programme aimed at ensuring:
- An assessment to gather information about the most common criticalities encountered by FAO in the processes of design, implementation and evaluation of FAO-EU projects;
- The identification and sharing of information of the main EU cooperation policies (e.g. strategic documents and multi-annual programming);
- The development of a good partnership FAO-EU, encouraging proper planning of interventions within the guidelines proposed by the EU;
- The creation of proper guidelines for accountable implementation and reporting of projects, in line with the FAO and EU PAGoDA procedures.

Civil society and human rights in Eswatini
In Eswatini we support human rights associations through the promotion of knowledge and participatory methods, thus facilitating the work of local networks and the interaction between different public and private entities operating in the African country.
Inclusion and claiming the rights of people with disabilities
The PODER project aims to create and promote a path of employment inclusion, defense of the right to education and claiming the rights of people with disabilities in 4 municipalities in El Salvador
The statement “nothing about us without us” is the essential starting point of the project “PODER: program for occupational inclusion, the defense of the rights to education and the claim of the rights of people with disabilities”.
The project action, lasting 36 months, aims to strengthen and support tangible changes such as to allow people with disabilities in the target areas (Colon, Zaragoza, Santo Tomás and Santiago Texacuangos) to promote, as active subjects recognized as competent, processes of social and educational inclusion.
The proposed action develops around the idea of the centrality of people with disabilities and their organizations, whose strengthening in terms of awareness and skills (individual and collective empowerment) is considered as a fundamental precondition for achieving the established objective.
The project has three main components:
- strengthening advocacy capacities of people with disabilities and their organisations
- support for the completion of educational and professional training courses for people with disabilities
- reduction of physical access barriers to schools and other buildings of public interest by means of light infrastructural upgrading works.

Fight against energy poverty: evaluation of the Doniamo Energia Calls
Through the evaluation of the Bandi Energia (Energy Call for Proposals), promoted by Fondazione Cariplo and Banco dell’Energia, we contribute to the development of intervention models finalised at avoiding that disadvantaged families in the Lombardy descend into structural poverty. We do this by focusing on promoting skills and territorial networks.
School and gender stereotypes: an innovative intervention model
With the Be.St. – Beyond Stereotypes project we promote the development of a systemic approach across primary schools in order to facilitate relationship building amongst children based on respect and the acknowledgement of diversity in order for future generations to become more aware of their potentials.
Independence and autonomy of people with disabilities in Gaza
The final evaluation took place at the end of the project promoted by the NGO EducAid entitled Independence, Capability, Autonomy, inclusion – Center for Independent Life for Persons with Disabilities of the Gaza Strip (I-CAN). The project started its implementation phase in May 2018 and ended – with an extension – in March 2021 in Gaza.
The I-CAN project was dedicated to strengthening the independence and self-determination of people with disabilities (PWD), especially women with disabilities, primarily through the establishment of an integrated and innovative Centre in cooperation with local organisations. The Centre is today the hub for improving the autonomy of the PWDs through the provision of personalised individual and group services. The Centre, in particular, has the characteristic of involving, as operators/women, staff with disabilities, proposing “in fact” a model of real contrast to stereotypes and strongly marked by the protagonism of the PWD in the target territory.
The evaluation work was carried out as follows.
- First, we worked to develop a critical analysis of the project path, taking care to build the logic of the intervention on the basis of the real potential and external constraints that emerged from the start. This analysis allowed to define the evolution of the reference framework presented at the initial stage (relevance of the intervention) and to analyses the progress of the project (through the monitoring documents and some interviews addressed to the actors involved in the activities (efficiency of the intervention).
- Secondly, have been investigated the economic, social and institutional factors that can ensure the implementation of the planned service activities (setting out the minimum standards of success with EducAid in the framework of the OECD DAC criteria).
- Thirdly, a quantitative study was organized, questionnaires have been administered to the users of the Centre and to teachers who received training. This demanding work has allowed us to work on a specific data source that strictly oriented to assess the effectiveness, sustainability and impact of the project. During the data processing data, documentations, results achieved and perceptions of key informants have been triangulated and evidences have been discussed with the project team to complete the analysis.

Critical accompaniment of the “ZeroSei” program
Integration and coordination between services and care offers aimed at the 0-6 age group
The ZeroSei Program funded by Compagnia di San Paolo intends to promote integration and coordination among services and care offers targeting the 0-6 age childhood bracket in Turin. Moreover, the projects supported are in favor of children of this specific age group in a more systematic, multidimensional, inclusive, innovative and integrated framework.
The objective is to contribute to producing a change in the territory involved, not only in terms of increasing supply and services, but also and above all in the ability of the community to interact, work synergistically and put the various skills, competences and resources, to take care of their children, their families and the actors that interact with them in a sustainable, effective, participatory and lasting way.
Main activities
The various activities carried out by punto.sud have different objectives:
• Provide to Compagnia San Paolo a clear design reference framework (program theory);
• Facilitate forecast monitoring and evaluation actions;
• To strengthen the company’s ability to analyze and plan the company itself within the ZeroSei program.
The outputs expected to be achieved are as follows:
- to explain, starting from the analysis and evaluation work carried out by the Collegio Carlo Alberto, the reference model (hypothesis of change and functions to be maintained in the long-run)of the Program in consideration of the Company’s vision, the development of the main actions, the allocated funds and the project launched;
- consolidating a monitoring system capable of enhancing the systems of observation and analysis of the processes started by the individual actions and the hypothetical evaluation tracks.

Training of candidate volunteers of the European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps
The European Solidarity Corps programme aims to provide young people, including those with fewer opportunities, with easily accessible opportunities for engagement in solidarity activities, while improving and validating their competences.
Humanitarian Aid Volunteering projects funded under this strand will offer the opportunity to young people aged 18 to 35 years old to participate in volunteering activities, aiming at supporting humanitarian aid operations. Such activities will provide them the opportunity to carry out tasks needed to support the actions undertaken by their host organizations.
This project, led by Lattanzio KIBS, in partnership with
Punto Sud, Bioforce, IECAH and IFHV, focuses on the steps that bring potential volunteers within the Humanitarian Aid Volunteering projects from registration on the EU Solidarity Corps Portal to placement in a pool of volunteers available for selection by organizations.
The volunteers must have successfully completed mandatory training aiming at preparing them for volunteering in third countries, so as to ensure that they have the necessary skills and competences to help people in need in the most effective way.
The training offered by this project cover the following competences:
- Transversal competences which are required in many sectors of volunteering and employment and are not specific to the humanitarian and development aid field (e.g. intercultural awareness or management of personal health and security);
- Specific competences which are required for humanitarian and development aid more widely (such as applying the humanitarian principles or the principles of development cooperation).
Young people (aged 18-35) interested in participating must register on the portal, and complete an initial questionnaire to explore their interest in taking part in volunteering program.
They will then take a self-assessment questionnaire to evaluate readiness to take part in this programme and to get an insight on what to expect from the experience.
Those truly motivated will move to the specific online training preparing candidates for volunteering in humanitarian and development aid. Once completed, they will have to pass an online test focusing on what they have learned to be able to have access in a 5-day face-to-face training. In case of force majeure, F2F trainings may be replaced by virtual classroom training modules. Upon successful completion of the face-to-face training (or the virtual training) the candidates will be placed in the pool of volunteers available for selection by organizations.
PuntoSud has been involved in the following activities:
- development of the contents of the self-assessment questionnaire
- development of part of the contents of the online training (covering 8 hours)
- development of online quiz to test the knowledge acquired from the online training
- delivery of face-to-face training to volunteers in Milan, Italy (at least 8 sessions per year)
