Initiatives Jeunes Solidaires is a scheme created in 2009 that encourages 18-30 year olds to invest in projects aimed at reducing malnutrition and extreme poverty. **Specific observations** To be eligible, projects must: * be brought by young people between 18 and 30 years of age; * count, since 2018, at least 50 % of participants who live, study or work in Hauts-de-Seine; * have a duration of 1 to 12 months spent on the project at the site of implementation; * contribute to the fight against malnutrition and extreme poverty; * subject to the safety of the participants, be carried out primarily in the countries covered by the departmental international cooperation policy: Armenia, Benin, Cambodia and Haiti (the Department has suspended its activities in Mali since 2011 due to insecurity issues); * be carried by an association whose registered office is in France and by a local partner; * provide for restitution of the project on the territory of Hauts-de-Seine. A pre-selection committee examines eligible projects and hears project promoters. The proposed drafts are then put to the vote of the Deliberative Assembly for funding. Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Youth Solidarity Initiatives call for projects were suspended and no projects were funded.
