Daring to Shift: Young Women at the Centre of Inclusive Growth Project - Final Evaluation

Digital Opportunity Trust

Bodhi conducted a final evaluation of the Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT) project ‘Daring to Shift: Young Women at the Centre of Inclusive Growth’, funded by Global Affairs Canada. The project focused on the digital inclusion and economic empowerment of young people, particularly young women, in five core countries (Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Jordan, and Lebanon) and four expansion countries (Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, and Ghana). It contributed to increased participation of young people in gender-equitable development, strengthened enabling environments for youth-led innovation, and scaled youth-led social and economic impact. The project targeted 44,681 direct youth beneficiaries and 144,463 total indirect beneficiaries. Bodhi employed a gender-responsive, inclusive, and participatory mixed-methods approach, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative methods, to assess the programme's progress in enhancing resilience and economic inclusion among unemployed and underemployed youth.
