Learning Narrative: Mentorship for successful rural livelihoods

Youth in Action (YiA), is a six-year youth learning and livelihoods program in partnership with Mastercard Foundation. The program works to improve the sustainable livelihoods of over 40,000 out-of-school girls and boys in rural Burkina Faso, Egypt, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda.

As part of the program’s research and learning agenda, the team created a series of six Learning Narratives that draw together key learning in areas related to youth livelihoods programming. The Learning Narrative on Mentorship for Successful Rural Livelihoods focuses on exploring and analyzing the impact of YiA’s mentorship strategy and understanding how it contributed to youth business development.
