RG-T2446 : Latin America & Caribbean Adaptation of the YouthBuild Model for At-Risk Youth

The objective of this project is to provide a pathway out of violence, crime, and social exclusion for at-risk, adjudicated, and gang-involved youth in Latin America and to strengthen the evidentiary basis for the policy/program options for violence prevention and youth inclusion. The specific objectives are to: (i) Design, pilot test, and evaluate the YouthBuild model in three countries in the Caribbean and Central America that are facing youth violence and crime challenges and where the IDB is active; (ii) Build a rigorous evidence base and learning agenda for North-South and South-South cooperation in efforts to strengthen socio-economic inclusion of at-risk youth.
