This is an end of program narrative report of the Trusting in Youth in Zimbabwe (TYZ) project which was implemented by Mercy Corps Zimbabwe. The report gives an overview of the program’s progress from the introduction in February 2013 until project close in January 2015. In this report, the contextual issues, with respect to the operational environment in Zimbabwe and issues affecting the Chitungwiza and Buhera districts are clearly detailed with particular attention to issues impacting youth. The basis of the conceptualization of TYZ rested in a needs assessment that was conducted in both BHR and CHT districts. The TYZ overall goal is then broken down into the specific objectives where the program’s achievements and success are clearly defined and explained. An indicator based reporting approach was used to fully detail the successes of the program through various interventions conducted during the project implementation. On each indicator, a summary of achievements is given and more information is given on specific achievements generated from various activities implemented in both districts. A gender analysis section explains the intentions, achievements, and results in respect to the gender issues under the program. During program implementation, various challenges and lessons learned were realized and are incorporated in this report. Finally as supporting evidence of the successful implementation of the program, a summary of cumulative achievements and beneficiary success stories are included within this report.
