Capturing Cross-Country Learning

Conducted consultations with youth-led organisations in Canada, Ghana, Senegal, Rwanda, Kenya, and Ethiopia to identify good practices and partnership models.

Informing Scale-up Strategy

Generated evidence and recommendations to support the Foundation's strategy for expanding partnerships with youth-led organisations at scale.
