Youth-led organizations working to improve to improve urban living conditions in developing countries can now seek financing for their projects through a new UN-HABITAT fund provided by Norway, the agency announced on Wednesday.

The Opportunities fund for urban youth-led Development will award between USD 5,000 and USD 25,000 to organizations led by young people, aged 15-32 years.

“In this time of worldwide economic crisis, it is not only banks and automakers who deserve financial support. We also need to encourage youth who are often best placed to solve problems in their communities,” said Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka, Executive Director of UN-HABITAT. “The Opportunities Fund is designed to provide financial support of up to one million dollars per year, to youth-led initiatives aimed at sustainable urbanization. We must harness the energies of the young if we are to overcome the problems of urban poverty.”

Of the 1 billion slum dwellers in the world today, it is estimated that more than 70% are under the age of 30 most without the resources to improve their own living environment. This is a major oversight as there are many youth-led initiatives in slums and squatter settlements that are in urgent need of financial support, UN-HABITAT said.

The fund, established with thanks to support from the Norwegian Government, provides for an initial grant USD 2 million over two years with a possibility of renewal depending on gains made.

Applications details are now available at www.unhabitat.org/opfund.

那时候闲着翻译了一下，请高手指教呵。
\"who are often best placed to solve problems in their communities\"这里不知道意译得对不对。

      联合国人居署于本周三声称，致力于改善人居条件的发展中国家青年领导组织现在可以通过联合国人居署一个新的基金申请项目资金，该基金由挪威政府提供。
    为城市青年主导的发展而设立的机会基金，将给年青人领导的组织提供$5000到$25000的资金支持。
    “在当前全球经济危机的形势下，不仅是银行和汽车制造商应当得到财政支援，我们也需要激励在所处的社区中经常能够很好定位而去解决各种问题的年轻人”，联合国人居署常务理事Anna Tibaijuka女士说，“机会基金计划提供每年高达100万美元支持关注可持续城市化的青年领导的自发行动。如果我们想解决城市里的贫困问题，我们必须好好利用年轻人的干劲。”
    联合国人居署称，今天世界上的10亿贫民窟居民里，估计有超过70%在30岁以下，并且没有资源可用于改善他们自己的居住环境。目前在贫民区和squatter settlements，有许多的年轻人主导的行动急需资金支持。
    基金的设立，多亏来自挪威政府的支持。挪威政府提供$2,000,000首批款项，是否继续支持将依据成果而定。
