Recognizing the pivotal role of youth in sustainable development, USAID commissioned a National Youth Assessment to inform program design and influence the CDCS. Co-led by Integrated and MSI, the evaluation engaged over 900 Jordanian and Syrian youth, alongside 175 parents and teachers, in communities with high dropout rates. We brought unique value by coding, analyzing, and interpreting focus group data in Arabic, ensuring culturally accurate insights. Using a participatory approach, youth assessors observed focus groups and validated findings, uncovering the challenges and aspirations shaping Jordan’s youth narrative.
