The document presents a Youth Empowerment Measure & Analysis Framework developed by the Centre for Development Action (CDA) to strengthen the consideration of youth in development programming, advocacy, and implementation. The framework aims to measure and analyze youth empowerment, participation, and development outcomes using indicators across sectors. It can help determine spending, partnerships, and ensure rhetoric around youth issues leads to meaningful action. Key factors that determine youth empowerment are identified, like leadership, education, and family relationships. The framework is intended to be applied to increase the real impact and sustainability of development projects by better tracking youth contributions through their participation.
