Introduction
The organizational analysisWhat is Youth AnalysisFACTSHEETThe Youth Empowerment and Transformation Trust (YETT) developed this factsheet as part of its work under the Civic Engagement for Accountability and Democracy in Zimbabwe (CEADZ) project. The CEADZ project seeks to increase influence of Zimbabwe citizens, acting collectively through formal and informal groups for more democratic and accountable governance. This factsheet is developed by YETT as part of efforts towards strengthening youth influence in civic engagement interventions by CSOs so as to ensure that the youth voice is captured and reflected in key processes and policies.
Why Youth Analysis
In youth development work, some of the critical challenges that organizations need to confront are integration, inclusion and mainstreaming especially of women and youth. Program effectiveness is compromised by sectoral or silo-based programming approaches especially in addressing complex issues such as accountability and democracy. To respond to these inherent challenges, Youth Analysis provides the necessary data and information which enables CSOs to integrate or mainstream youth perspectives into policies, programs, projects and activities.
