Collectively Sharing and Learning: Promoting Gender-Intentional and PYD Integration Across Youth Development Programming Chisina Kapungu and Chelsea Ricker, Co-Champions
Gender and PYD Community of Practice (CoP) • Promotes gender and positive youth development integration across development programming, through collective sharing and learning about: what works, how to measure efforts, and how to support application of knowledge. • Co-champions − Chisina Kapungu, YouthPower Learning at International Center for Research on Women − Chelsea Ricker, independent consultant for YouthPower Learning at Making Cents International • Facilitator: − Lindsey Woolf, YouthPower Learning at Making Cents International 2
Quick Icebreaker • Who are you? • How long have you been in the Gender and PYD CoP? • What has worked for you, or what advice do you have for how we can best engage with colleagues around the world? 3
Purpose of the PYD Learning Agenda • Define priority research questions in the field of PYD in LMICs • Provide guidance to address evidence gaps and invest in evidence-building activities • Be a catalyst for sharing resources and knowledge and foster collaboration

PYD Learning Agenda Themes 1. Understanding how PYD programs achieve positive impact in LMICs 2. Cross-sectoral impact of PYD programs 3. Measurement of PYD constructs 4. PYD for vulnerable or marginalized populations 5. Youth engagement in PYD programs
Understanding how PYD programs achieve positive impact in LMICs • Do PYD programs in LMICs achieve their longer- term/sectoral outcomes by effecting PYD outcomes? • How can PYD programs that have proven to be effective be adapted to different contexts?
Cross-sectoral impact of PYD programs • Do PYD programs have significant positive effects on outcomes in multiple sectors? • What are the best ways to design and implement PYD programs with cross-sector outcomes in LMICs?
Measurement of PYD constructs • What processes or strategies are critical for adaptation of reliable and valid PYD tools to different contexts? • How do we best measure the implementation of PYD approaches at the program, system, or agency level?
PYD for vulnerable or marginalized populations • What are the barriers to and facilitators for including vulnerable or marginalized populations in universal PYD programs? • How effective are tailored PYD programs at serving the needs of vulnerable or marginalized populations?
Youth engagement in PYD programs • What strategies are effective in enabling meaningful youth engagement? • What are the best ways to measure and evaluate the impact of various levels of youth engagement on intended PYD indicators and program outcomes?
How to contribute • Global PYD learning agenda to guide the international youth development community over the next three or so years. • Call to action: • Identify opportunities to leverage existing work or design future work that contribute to the PYD learning agenda • Participate in future opportunities to share efforts and findings.
How this connects to the Gender & PYD CoP? • Adapting PYD programs in different contexts and conduct impact evaluation • Designing PYD programs for vulnerable populations • Analyzing M&E data from youth-focused projects to measure gender norms • Documenting and measuring youth engagement
How this connects to the CoP? • How will the learning agenda help to inform your work? • What can the CoP work on that will help respond to this learning agenda and advance the PYD field?
