Youth Civic Education, Engagement, and Leadership Development Global Landscape Analysis

The goal of this report is to support the development of innovative youth programs for the capacity and commitment of young leaders to become partners in building self-reliant communities. It supports USAID’s new Global Leadership and Education for Advancing Development Initiative (Global LEAD), which seeks to activate 1 million young change-makers through USAID-funded activities in civic education, engagement, and leadership across sectors. Recognizing there are contextual civil society differences across regions and within countries, and honoring the diversity of youth, this global overview seeks to understand recent patterns and trends.
