Introduction
USAID believes that young people are more than program beneficiaries—they are valuable assets and partners in development. This belief is encapsulated in the agency’s seminal 2012 Youth in Development Policy, which commits to strengthening youth participation and partnership by engaging young people across initiatives and programs.
YouthPower conducted extensive analysis in LMIC countries to assess the current landscape for youth engagement, identifying opportunities to strengthen young people’s participation and partnership and barriers to progress.
The assessments aimed to raise youth voices, and drew heavily on inputs from youth focus group discussions, with approximately 2,000 young people consulted. Most assessments also engaged youth researchers as part of the team.
