Tapping the Potential of Displaced Youth: Guidance for Non-formal Education and Livelihoods Development Policy and Practice

Report Launch and Panel Discussion

Friday, March 30, 2012 | 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm

InterAction |1400 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20010 | Suite 210 | Conference Room C


Mark your calendars and join AIYD and our member the Women’s Refugee Commission for a co-hosted report launch and panel discussion to mark a new report that synthesizes findings and recommendations from a multi-year, multi-country research and advocacy initiative, “Tapping the Potential of Displaced Youth” (2008-2011). The report provides practical guidance for policy makers, practitioners and donors on what works to meet the needs of displaced youth ages 15-24 for non-formal education and safe, dignified livelihoods.

A growing need for non-formal education and livelihood skills-building opportunities for displaced youth calls for the humanitarian community and partners in government, civil society and business to come together to address service gaps; identify and remove barriers to access and create entry points in programs; and contribute to a global, practice-based learning agenda on what works for displaced youth through program monitoring and evaluation. The panel discussion will follow after a short presentation of the report, and will bring together AIYD members and others in the humanitarian assistance and development community to explore this topic in greater depth. Please be sure to save the date! A formal invitation will follow.
