This brief highlights how the positive youth development (PYD) approach can position youth to become economically and socially productive members of their communities within an integrated program focused on youth workforce development. It is not a comprehensive description of activities under the Feed the Future Tanzania Advancing Youth (AY) project, but discusses how key activities fit together within the YouthPower PYD framework. Using the PYD approach has enabled AY to build youth capacity to take on leadership roles in their communities that lead to greater allocation of resources for youth and a stronger enabling environment for youth economic activities and contribution to their communities.
