Yemen Youth Development Study
Final Report
The Youth Development Study was designed to support USAID’s update to the Yemen country strategy, referred to as the Yemen Programming Approach (YPA). The study explored the challenges, priorities, and opportunities faced by Yemeni youth in relation to the five YPA sectors: (1) health; (2) education; (3) water, sanitation, and hygiene; (4) economic recovery, livelihoods, and agriculture; and (5) governance, peace, and stability.
The research was grounded in a positive youth development approach that sought to enable Yemeni youth contributions to the rebuilding and development of Yemen. The findings from this study were intended to inform the integration of youth programming principles into the extension of the country strategy, and possibly, into future activity design.
