Evaluation of the USAID Kunci Workforce Development Initiative
The Kunci Project was designed to improve employment outcomes among poor and vulnerable Indonesian youth through the provision of increased access to training and economic opportunities. The Project was developed in 2015 through a USAID Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) co-design, cocreation process that sought to leverage interdependent parts of the workforce development (WFD) system to foster collective impact and lead to transformational change.
The purpose of this evaluation is to investigate and determine the effectiveness of the Kunci Project’s design, management, and implementation. The specific objectives are to:
- Review performance of the Kunci Project as a whole, with a particular focus on the design and implementation,
- Identify Kunci workforce development (WFD) activity successes and opportunities that are aligned with USAID/Indonesia’s new 2020-2024 CDCS, with a particular emphasis on Journey to Self-Reliance (J2SR); and
- Identify key lessons learned that can be used to improve future WFD designs and other relevant Mission-wide activities.
