Program Highlights
Reporting: Data on outcomes of TYC’s youth programming (youth-focused, youth-relevant, and youth-led) continues to be primarily gathered through the Operational Plan (OP), Performance Plan and Report (PPR), Portfolio Reviews, Development Information Solution (DIS) and other reporting processes and systems. These reports help The Youth Cafe report on its youth programs, investments, and outcomes to its Board of Directors and external stakeholders.
Monitoring: The Youth Cafe’s Monitoring Toolkit provides guidance and resources on monitoring at The Youth Cafe. Youth activities monitor activity implementation, adaptations, costs, and outputs. Monitoring data reveals how programming targets and affects different groups, highlighting youth as a discrete group and, as relevant for program management and learning, disaggregating by age bands. Progress towards desired outcomes, development objectives, and intermediate results should include youth indicators and age-disaggregated data, as described in The Youth Cafe’s Strategies.
1. All relevant indicators are age-disaggregated. The preference is to use the age bands described in the Policy (10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34)
2. All The Youth Cafe people-level standard and custom performance indicators are sex-disaggregated and age-disaggregated. The following indicators are examples:
Performance Indicators
Since the year 2012, The Youth Cafe has made significant progress in its quest to achieve its goals through several partnerships and collaborations with public and private organizations, with more than 75 projects from service contracts, consultancies, and accountable grants completed over the years. They represent 13 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 22 countries in Africa.
Agriculture and environmental sustainability are two key pillars for the future development of our planet. As we navigate the challenges of a changing climate and a growing global population, we must prioritize agricultural practices and sustainable agriculture practices to protect the environment, ensure food security, and empower the youth. By spearheading initiatives that integrate agriculture and environmental sustainability, our organization on the youth empowerment platform can play a pivotal role in creating a better future for all.
