In collaboration with the Skoll Foundation, Results for Development (R4D) undertook a rapid ecosystem analysis to examine the trends and drivers around the growing focus on leadership and entrepreneurship development models for youth in Africa. The analysis consisted of two parts.
First, a landscape analysis was conducted to better understand what kinds of programs exist in the ecosystem. Through in-depth desk research and drawing on existing resources such as the Center for Education Innovations and Ashoka Changemakers, key programs and actors that play a role at the secondary and tertiary level in Africa were identified.
Second, a deeper analysis into four critical areas was conducted, namely:
- Post-Conflict and Crisis Programs
- Gender Focused Initiatives
- Networking and Collaborative Learning Programs
- Skills Development Programs
The deep-dive analysis takes an in-depth look at trends and key factors in each of these four areas, and uses case studies to illustrate how programs are responding to specific challenges within these critical areas.
