At the request of USAID Zambia, YouthPower Learning conducted a youth assessment to provide input to the Mission for its 2017-2022 Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). The assessment serves as a point of reference for evidence-based interventions, models, and approaches that may benefit current and future programming related to youth. The assessment team reviewed youth policies and strategies of the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) and conducted key informant interviews with a variety of stakeholders to better understand youth programming challenges and opportunities in the country. The team also conducted 17 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with youth aged 18-24 and eight FGDs with youth-serving program implementers in 10 locations in Central, Copperbelt, Eastern, Lusaka, and Southern provinces.
