Legal/policy framework for the functioning and development of youth organisations

The role of youth organizations in the National Youth Strategy 2010-2020 states as follows:

Youth organizations ensure youth participation and representation upon formulation and implementation of youth policies. Youth organizations work in close collaboration with the central, regional and local bodies. Chapter Four of the Закон за младежта Youth Act determines the organizations that may be entered into the Register of National Youth (Национална информационна система за младежта)Information System of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The budget for these national programs is EUR 1,5 million.

Public financial support

The financing by the Ministry of Youth and Sports is mostly through the two national programs of the Ministry via project proposals under the National program for implementation of youth activities and the National Youth Program (NPIYA and NYP).
