Purpose of the PYD Learning Agenda

• Define priority research questions in the field of PYD

in LMICs

• Provide guidance to address evidence gaps and invest

in evidence-building activities

• Be a catalyst for sharing resources and knowledge

and foster collaboration

PYD Learning Agenda Themes

• 1. Understanding how PYD programs

achieve positive impact in LMICs

• 2. Cross-sectoral impact of PYD programs
• 3. Measurement of PYD constructs
• 4. PYD for vulnerable or marginalized

populations

• 5. Youth engagement in PYD programs

• Do PYD programs in LMICs achieve their longer-

term/sectoral outcomes by effecting PYD

• utcomes?
• How can PYD programs that have proven to be

effective be adapted to different contexts?

Understanding how PYD programs achieve positive impact in LMICs

• Do PYD programs have significant positive

effects on outcomes in multiple sectors?

• What are the best ways to design and implement

PYD programs with cross-sector outcomes in LMICs?

Cross-sectoral impact of PYD programs

Measurement of PYD constructs

• What processes or strategies are critical for

adaptation of reliable and valid PYD tools to different contexts?

• How do we best measure the implementation of

PYD approaches at the program, system, or agency level?

PYD for vulnerable or marginalized populations

• What are the barriers to and facilitators for

including vulnerable or marginalized populations in universal PYD programs?

• How effective are tailored PYD programs at

serving the needs of vulnerable or marginalized populations?

Youth engagement in PYD programs

• What strategies are effective in enabling

meaningful youth engagement?

• What are the best ways to measure and evaluate

the impact of various levels of youth engagement

• n intended PYD indicators and program
• utcomes?

How to contribute

• Global PYD learning agenda to guide the

international youth development community over the next three or so years.

• Call to action:
• Identify opportunities to leverage existing work or

design future work that contribute to the PYD learning agenda

• Participate in future opportunities to share efforts and

findings.

How this connects to the Gender & PYD CoP?

• Adapting PYD programs in different contexts

and conduct impact evaluation

• Designing PYD programs for vulnerable

populations

• Analyzing M&E data from youth-focused

projects to measure gender norms

• Documenting and measuring youth engagement

How this connects to the CoP?

• How will the learning agenda help to

inform your work?

• What can the CoP work on that will help

respond to this learning agenda and advance the PYD field?
