Youth Empowerment and Africa's Development
A young person completing a training programme is an important milestone, but it is not necessarily the final outcome. A successfully empowered youth programme should be able to positively answer these four questions;
- Did the participant find employment?
- Did they start or grow a business?
- Did their income change?
- Did they acquire skills that employers actually value?
For youth programmes to demonstrate meaningful results, measurement needs to follow the participant beyond the classroom.
