Summary Brief: Overview of Findings from the USAID-Liberia Cross-Sectoral Youth Assessment Situational AnalysisConducted by YouthPower Learning at the request of the USAID Mission in Liberia, the purpose of the cross-sectoral youth assessment was to utilize a positive youth development lens to capture the experiences of Liberian youth across a number of sectors, including education and skills development, employment and entrepreneurship, agriculture, health, security, and social and civic participation. This overview presents assessment findings that emerged from research conducted in September-October 2018. The assessment consisted of a desk review and field visit to six counties prioritized by USAID (Montserrado, Lofa, Grand Bassa, Bong, Nimba, and Margibi).
