Youth Forward Learning Partnership
Youth Forward aims to improve the capacity of young people in Ghana and Uganda to get jobs, grow their businesses and access finance to expand opportunities available to them.
The initiative is a partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, four consortia and 28 implementing organisations. It works across eight regions in Ghana and twelve districts in Uganda.
ODI’s Digital Societies programme leads the Youth Forward Initiative learning partnership, with Participatory Development Associates in Ghana and partners in Uganda (formerly Development Research and Training).
The learning partnership works across the initiative to develop an evidence-informed understanding of the needs of young people in Ghana and Uganda, and how the initiative can best meet those needs. This is done through three main activity streams: knowledge development, knowledge sharing and multi-sector dialogue.
