WUSC & Mastercard Foundation: Market Assessment of Digital Employment Opportunities for Refugee Youth
WUSC & Mastercard Foundation: Market Assessment of Digital Employment Opportunities for Refugee Youth

August 2022

In partnership with WUSC (World University Service of Canada) and the Mastercard Foundation, Samuel Hall conducted a market assessment of digital employment opportunities for refugee youth in Kenya with a focus on interrogating the ability of the digital economy to live up to expectations and provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for refugee youth.

Our findings show that, while the demand for digital skills is growing, this growth will not necessarily equate to an increase in long-term sustainable employment opportunities for refugee youth.

UNICEF - Evaluation of the Youth Education Pack Programme in Somalia
UNICEF - Evaluation of the Youth Education Pack Programme in Somalia

January 2017

Based on the requirements of Global Outcome 5, an evaluation of the UNICEF YEP programme has been commissioned by UNICEF to understand lessons that can be learnt from providing informal education in Somalia, both in the terms of delivering relevant skills that can improve the lives of beneficiaries, and the impact a tailored curriculum can have on peace building in Somalia when drivers of conflict are taken into account. The central question of this evaluation is therefore: ‘Has the implementation of YEP in Somalia had an impact on conflict drivers among marginalised youth by reducing reliance on negative coping and strategies and improving access to sustainable livelihoods?’
