Programmatic Components. During Year Two, XXX will build on Year One accomplishments and lessons learned; activities under each YED component will be focused as follows. • Under Component One of the program, capacity strengthening will be offered to a second group of YSIs and universities, allowing additional partners to expand their capacity to engage and serve youth in employment, entrepreneurship and service learning programs effectively. However, given the reduced funding level available for Year Two, CSP II will focus on YSIs that are most likely to contribute to achieving YED’s objectives. In addition, building on lessons learned from CSP I, the format of CSP II will place more emphasis on coaching and one-on-one support tailored to each YSI’s particular area of focus within employment and entrepreneurship, in order to support development of targeted interventions that will produce strong outcomes to create an even more effective learning process for YSIs. The YED team will also provide direct coaching and mentoring to the YSI partners implementing grant-funded activities. Finally, YED will continue outreach to stakeholders in an effort to establish new partnerships that can improve the quality, scale, and sustainability of grant-funded activities through leverage contributions. • Building on activities initiated during the first year of implementation, Component Two will support new direct training programs and other activities for youth beneficiaries, including grants to fund activities that will enhance their employability and entrepreneurial skills. In Year Two, subject to available funding, we anticipate that the YED program will work through several YSI partners that have completed CSP I to implement up to four new grant-funded activities. • Finally, Component Three will work to provide Palestinian youth with practical opportunities to apply their newly-developed employability and entrepreneurship skills. Under this component, XXX will support initiatives in the areas of career counseling, internship promotion, and entrepreneurship that will be informed by targeted research initiatives designed to ensure such services meet the needs of both youth and the private sector, and to facilitate the private sector’s full engagement and support. Additional details of planned activities under each Program Component are provided in the sections that follow.
