USAID Youth-Powered Ecosystem to Advance Urban Adolescent Health (YPE4AH) Project — End of Project Dissemination Report 2020 - 2024

In May 2020, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/Nigeria awarded the Youth-Powered Ecosystem to Advance Urban Adolescent Health (YPE4AH) Project to DAI Global LLC and its partners—Yellow Brick Road (YBR), Youth Empowerment and Development Initiative (YEDI), Women Friendly Initiative (WFI), and Grassroot Soccer (GRS). This five-year cooperative agreement, designed through a co-creation process, empowers young Nigerians with the skills, social capital, and resources necessary to realize their potential. The primary goal of the project is to improve the health and well-being of urban, underprivileged, out-of-school, and unmarried/ married adolescents aged 15–19 living in urban slums in Lagos and Kano States by increasing the uptake and sustained use of voluntary family planning (FP) services, using a holistic, human capital approach.
