While some youth report struggling in leadership roles due to a perceived lack of experience, SafePlan Uganda and KCEO are showing that programs led by youth are successful not in spite of their leadership but because of it.

This blog is the first in a series of six where we break down the Higher Education Landscape Analysis for you.

In this blog, second in a series of six, we apply a regional lens to the HELA to take stock of USAID’s HE engagement across the Agency’s regional bureaus. 

USAID commissioned the Higher Education Landscape Analysis (HELA) to take stock of the depth of its HE programming across sectors and regions. The HELA found that during fiscal years 2014-2018, USAID implemented five primary activity types.

Let’s look at six ways USAID’s Higher Education programming in the timeframe of the Higher Education Landscape Analysis was inclusive of marginalized or vulnerable populations.
 

Here are five recommendations the Higher Education Landscape Analysis team made to USAID taking into account the lessons learned, challenges, and gaps the review identified. 

USAID visited two Young Women Transform Prize grant recipients to gain insight into what methods produced the best outcomes and collect lessons learned about how other organizations might incorporate youth-led approaches in their program design.

We’ll walk you through the new reporting requirements that take effect in 2019, including timelines and additional resources available to facilitate the uptake of the new and revised education-related indicators.
