Advancing Youth Project

The Advancing Youth Project will provide increased access to quality alternative basic education services, social and leadership development and livelihoods for out of school youth aged 13-35 who have no or marginal literacy and numeracy skills. The Project will work closely with the Ministry of Education and community-based organizations to build their capacity to manage a system and programs that provide youth with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.

Improve early childhood education, primary education, and secondary education, delivered in formal or non-formal settings. It includes literacy, numeracy, and other basic skills programs for youth and adults. Build educational institutions that form a productive and self-reliant labor force and leaders in productive sectors such as science, technology, management, and governance. Assist youth and adults in acquiring knowledge and developing skills and behaviors to find legitimate jobs, establish viable self-employment ventures, and/or stay employed and productive in a changing economy, including through creation of policies, programs, and systems that respond to labor market demands in the formal and informal sectors. Assist institutions that form future leaders for a well-governed, innovative society and economy, and that provide professional skills for innovation and adaptation to opportunities and challenges of the modern world. Create workforce development policies, programs, and systems that respond to labor market demands in the formal and informal sectors.
