| SPONSOR: USAID Integrated Youth Activity - Kefeta |
The USAID Integrated Youth Activity - Kefeta, is a five-year, 60 million dollar program implemented by the lead partner, Amref Health Africa and its consortium partners. Kefeta takes a holistic approach to support economic and social opportunities for youth in Ethiopia, by focusing on democracy and good governance, basic education, higher education, economic empowerment and sexual reproductive health in its program activities.
Amref Health Africa leads Kefeta, which conceptualizes Ethiopian youth as game changers, empowered to advance their own economic, civic and social development, promote development within their communities, and ultimately contribute to Ethiopia's peace and prosperity. |
| VISION |
| |
Ethiopian youth who are game changers: empowered to advance their own economic, civic, and social development; resilient in the face of shocks; actively promoting development within their communities and contributing to the country’s peace and prosperity. |
| OBJECTIVE |
| |
Starting with the formation of youth coalitions and networks, and establishing a youth-led Youth Empowerment Fund, Kefeta works towards empowering youth to advance their own economic, civic, and social development. |
 |
| Centered on and informed by the aspirations of Ethiopian youth, we have identified three groups of actors as the focus of Kefeta’s activities: |
| |
- Youth will have increased assets and agency, strengthened self-efficacy and skills, and improved physical and mental well-being. Economically active youth will contribute to their families, communities, and country, advocating for their rights and becoming more resilient.
- Youth-Led and Youth-Serving Organizations (including communities, civil society organizations [CSOs], faith-based organizations, universities, TVETS and private sector partners including industrial parks) will be strengthened for providing YFS across sectors and creating spaces for youth to engage in civic and community affairs.
- Youth Policy Environment Actors, through active national youth coalitions, will reflect and incorporate youth voices, and the public and private sectors will be more supportive of the youth by designing packages that specifically address their needs.
