Abstract
This report examines how youth livelihood programs in East Africa impact disadvantaged young people’s ability to learn, earn, and save. It highlights mixed outcomes—some youth “getting ahead” with steady income and growth, others “getting by” due to instability, limited capital, and systemic barriers like gender inequality and lack of access to training.
