Fund for Evaluation in Youth Employment "What Works" in youth employment

Welcome to the Groupsite for YEN's Fund for Evaluation in Youth Employment

The Fund for Evaluation in Youth Employment was set-up by the Youth Employment Network to provide technical and financial support to qualified organizations to design and conduct an impact evaluation. The Fund will operate for 5 years (2010-2014) and will run an annual call for proposals asking youth employment projects to submit evaluation proposals. The Fund is made possible thanks to support from the Jacobs Foundation and the Danish sponsored Africa Commission through the Youth Entrepreneurship Facility.

This groupsite has been set-up to achieve four main objectives:

1) To provide real time information related to the Fund (announce call for proposals and deadlines, application form, dates of learning events)

2) To offer a space for the global youth employment community to exchange and learn about impact evaluation

3) To connect the research, the policy maker and the practitioners community around the topic of youth employment and evaluation.

4) To share results, conclusion and lessons learned from impact evaluations supported through the Fund.

The theme for inaugural call for proposals is youth entrepreneurship. To view further information on the call including the concept paper, application form, deadlines, eligibility and selection criteria, view this discussion group.  

Other services open to members include a shared calendar, discussion forums, member profiles, photo gallery, file storage and more.
