Commitment to Youth Empowerment
IsDB’s Youth Development Strategy (YDS) 2020 – 2025 provides the strategic framework for how IsDB’s interventions integrate the needs of youth. The YDS has two principal objectives; to support young women and men to be: (i) productive and economically empowered so as to contribute to the development of their societies; and (ii) engaged and responsible, in order to embody and embrace leadership. The YDS has three mutually reinforcing strategic pillars, referred to as the ‘3Es’: Education, Economic Empowerment and Engagement.
