Bodhi carried out a final assessment of the Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT) project 'Daring to Shift: Young Women at the Centre of Inclusive Growth' which was funded by Global Affairs Canada. The project was aimed at promoting digital inclusion and economic empowerment of young people (with a particular focus on young women) in five core countries (Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Jordan and Lebanon) and four expansion countries (Uganda, Malawi, Zambia and Ghana). The project was designed to result in greater youth participation in gender equitable development, more supportive enabling environments for youth-led innovation and a greater scale of youth-led social and economic impact. It reached 44,681 direct youth beneficiaries and 144,463 total indirect beneficiaries. A gender-responsive, inclusive and participatory mixed-methods approach (both quantitative and qualitative) was used to assess the project's progress in terms of increasing resilience and economic inclusion among unemployed and underemployed youth.
