Central African Republic, Mali, South Sudan

Final Evaluation of the 'Youth Talk' programme

Search for Common Ground

Bodhi conducted a final evaluation of Search for Common Ground's Youth Talk programme, which focuses on empowering young people through media in Mali, Central African Republic, and South Sudan. Our evaluation assessed the programme's effectiveness in transforming youth knowledge and skills through media, particularly radio programming. We examined attitude and perception changes among adolescents and adults towards each other, and whether adolescents felt their voices were being heard as a result of the programme. The study analysed the impact of media-based interventions on youth empowerment and intergenerational understanding in these conflict-affected countries. This comprehensive evaluation aimed to provide insights into the effectiveness of media-based youth empowerment strategies and inform future programming in similar contexts.
