Partners

The YEN operates as a Network of Networks, whose strength lies in bringing to scale the accumulated knowledge, experience and constituencies of a diverse range of partners. It aims to identify, educate and motivate partners to work together toward a common development agenda: mobilizing the resources of stakeholders, including young people themselves, toward more and better youth employment possibilities, as a contribution toward poverty reduction.
