Washington, DC: Counterpart International.Д®valuation of Child and Youth Participation in Peacebuilding

What We Know about вЂњWhat WorksвЂќ in Youth Civic Engagement and Voice, Youth Organizations, Youth Leadership, and Civic Education. The theory of change is often not well articulated, but may include promoting greater attachment to the community, persuading youth to adopt counter narratives, or simply occupying the time of youth and crowding out less desirable activities.вЂќ According to the authors of the literature review, вЂњThere is little consensus on the definition of basic terms, theories of change, desired or expected impacts, or ways these impacts should be measured. Literature that was located is descriptive and does not address impact in a rigorous manner. The review paid particular attention to interventions in conflict and violence-affected areas and in the context of countering violent extremism but was unable to identify empirical academic literature on the impact of interventions in conflict and violence-affected areas and for countering violent extremism was identified. This literature review examines academic empirical studies from the year 2000 onwards that focused on evidence of the impact of interventions in youth civic engagement and voice, youth organizations, youth leadership, and civic education for youth.
