Our work on the USAID-funded YouthPower Learning project has accelerated this summer as we have conducted a new set of assessments that are meant to bring greater understanding to the needs and aspirations of youth around the world.
Through the YouthPower buy-in mechanism, USAID missions in Armenia, Rwanda, and Somalia commissioned cross-sectoral assessments of youth to better understand young people’s needs and inform future USAID programming. The assessments will be used by the missions to design programs that better motivate youth and knock down existing barriers to full social, economic, and political participation.
