Our youth-led projects, research and programmes help us to build a body of solid evidence to enable policy development. We strongly believe in good project evaluation (outputs & outcomes) and hence we have adopted the Oracle framework. All our youth-led projects are also monitored by our Youth Advisory Group, while our publications are quality controlled by the Academic & Editorial Board
