Next Generation

Q2 Impact relies on a youth-led, consultative approach to address the challenges facing the next generation and to give youth a voice. We want to understand the role of local networks, stakeholders, and systems that support youth development and drive change. Q2 Impact’s cutting-edge technologies and innovation, adaptive management, organizational development, and evidence-based decision-making provide the tools to transform these systems and improve youth opportunities.

Illustrative Projects

  • USAID/Turkmenistan Youth Development Activity (YDA) 2021-2026: Q2 Impact supports youth, training providers, and businesses to equip the labor force with modern, market-matching skills and knowledge. YDA connects Turkmen youth (ages 15-25) with employment and entrepreneurship opportunities and create sustainable linkages between training providers and the labor market. By supporting demand-driven and including youth development and stronger training systems that develop market-matched skills, YDA will:
  • Improve formal and informal linkages between key stakeholders – youth, employers, and training providers – including alumni/employer networks, mentorship and internship programs, and advisory bodies;
  • Strengthened training systems that develop and teach modern, market-matched skills;
  • Increased employment and entrepreneurship among Turkmen youth, especially among women and people with disabilities; and
  • Sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
  • USAID/Egypt Services to Improve Performance Management, Enhance Learning and Evaluation (SIMPLE) 2015-2022: Q2 Impact improved USAID/Egypt’s performance management at all levels: enabling USAID/Egypt to meet agency monitoring and evaluation requirements, make better informed strategic and management decisions, and advance learning. Q2 Impact evaluated exiting activities like the Positive Life Alternatives for Egyptian Youth At-Risk of Irregular Migration (PLAYA) project, and the Workforce Improvement and Skill Enhancement (WISE) activity. Additionally, the team is conducting a performance review of a grant aimed at supporting and empowering youth to exercise their civil rights in the North Sinai region of Egypt.
  • USAID/Uganda Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Program 2013-2018: Through this mission support program, Q2 Impact helped shape the Mission into an adaptive organization with an emphasis on learning. Q2 Impact strengthened monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) systems; institutionalized learning and adaptive management practices; and leveraged strategic development partnerships to promote network building and knowledge sharing. Under this contract Q2 Impact:
  • Commissioned a study to look at youth trends in health, education, and social protection. As a result of this analysis, the team put together a Call-to-Action publication and established an Advisory Committee (in close collaboration with the Government of Uganda and other key stakeholders) to inform and develop an Action Plan.
  • Convened the National Forum on the State of the Ugandan Child to raise awareness of youth issues and provide a platform for discussion. The event, aptly themed “Our Children, Our Future”, brought together more than 700 participants from all over Uganda, as well as global development practitioners committed to improving the lives of children. Attendees signed the Munyonyo Declaration to pledge their collective support to sustainably improving the lives and well-being of Uganda’s children.
