Youth Workforce Development Through Sustainable Systems Report
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks to increase its understanding of effective approaches for supporting improved, scaled, and sustainable youth workforce development (YWFD) outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). USAID commissioned the Better Youth Workforce Development Outcomes Through Sustainable Systems Reform buy-in activity through its YouthPower2: Learning and Evaluation (YP2LE) Activity implemented by Making Cents International.
The research had two main objectives:
To develop three case studies of successful YWFD reforms where the government was a critical system actor and reforms were scaled and sustainable; and
To develop a synthesis report (this document) based on lessons learned from the three case studies. The synthesis report provides high-level findings of enabling factors that resulted in significantly improved outcomes in YWFD through sustainable systems reform. It also includes recommendations to USAID to improve design, implementation, and evaluation of YWFD activities and investments; however, some recommendations are also applicable for country-level and international stakeholders, including other donors, governments, and implementing partners.
