USAID/Haiti Youth Assessment 2016

The USAID/Haiti Youth Assessment 2016 provides an overview of the status of youth in Haiti, defined as individuals aged 10-29. The assessment summarizes lessons learned from previous USAID and other donor-funded youth programs in the post-earthquake period and identifies opportunities in key sectors for strategic interventions. It utilizes a mixed-methods approach, incorporating literature review, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The report highlights critical issues such as democracy and governance, economic opportunities, education and training, social support systems, health and well-being, gender equity, juvenile justice, and environmental concerns, offering recommendations for an integrated youth development policy to improve the lives and prospects of Haitian youth.
