Learning & Sharing Component – What can we learn?
Although all three projects share the overall mission of increasing livelihood opportunities for youth, they have different approaches that contribute to the knowledge base of youth programming. The following are some of the questions that will be addressed by the M&E Plan and through an overall Sharing & Learning Vision that brings project staff, Mission officials, and youth specialists together:
- How is a successful program model adapted for a different context? South Africa
- How does a holistic approach to addressing the needs of youth work for at-risk boys in an urban, high violence setting? Jamaica
- How do sports, used as a vehicle to promote education and healthy living among youth, address ethnic conflict and engage in peace-building? Uganda
EQUIP3 / EDC will carry this learning and sharing vision by playing the role of a facilitator to bring various participants together and open the lines of communication during the implementation of the EFA projects. After consultation with project staff and based on the input collected, various mechanisms were identified for this Learning & Sharing Vision. It is expected that this website serves as one of them. While EQUIP3 / EDC will facilitate the process, it is individual and collective input that will keep it lively, interesting, and helpful for everyone. Please visit the various sections of this website and send any comments and/or materials to share to Alejandra Bonifaz abonifaz@edc.org.
You may also visit the Journal page to learn more about cross-project discussions, facilitated by EQUIP3, that have been taking place to share experiences and 'what works' in the field, according to the three EFA projects.
