Assessment of the Implementation of USAID’s Youth in Development Policy
USAID's Office of Policy within the Bureau for Policy, Planning and Learning (PPL/P) strongly suggests conducting policy implementation assessments five years after the publication of each policy and strategy. This assessment of the Youth Policy was a collaborative process between PPL/P and an external team assembled through the Learning and Knowledge Mechanism (LEARN). The goals of the assessment were to identify progress, successes, challenges, and lessons learned during the first five years of policy implementation; to identify and recommend actions the Agency could take to improve implementation; and to generate knowledge about policy implementation more broadly.
