S4YE Impact Portfolio

CATALYZING NEW AND PROMISING APPROACHES IN YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS

With sites ranging from Colombia to Cambodia and Turkey to Tanzania, the S4YE Impact Portfolio (IP) is a group of 44 diverse and high-potential youth employment projects that represent fifteen developing countries from six continents. These projects were selected through a blind-process by independent reviewers.

This unique group of youth employment projects is a “learning laboratory” for the S4YE Coalition. Through the Impact Portfolio, S4YE aims to learn, assess, showcase, and potentially support the scaling of innovative youth employment interventions. To this end, S4YE is developing joint knowledge products, building a network of youth employment actors, and facilitating targeted technical guidance to ongoing projects in specific areas of high demand. S4YE will use the learnings and outcomes of Impact Portfolio projects to inform the design and development of its 2ND  Generation Youth Employment Programs

IMPACT PORTFOLIO REPORT

The S4YE Secretariat Knowledge Management team conducted a series of one-on-one consultation meetings and countless informal communications across all 44 projects to identify innovative approaches and context-specific solutions. This review resulted in a comprehensive report with two main objectives:

  • To provide youth employment practitioners with insights into important aspects of the operations, design, and innovations of the 44 projects in the IP.
  • To support the development of this group of 44 projects as a live learning community and catalyst of innovation in the global youth employment space
