THE YOUTH FOR YOUTH FINAL EVALUATION CRS-Rwanda 005- FY26-TN/2025

1. Background 

As part of its 2020-2030 strategy, CRS’ vision is that all young people lead healthy, productive, and engaged lives. In support of this, CRS aims to transform employment and entrepreneurship systems, so that they foster an enabling environment where millions of Opportunity Youth have sustainable livelihoods. This will be achieved by ensuring that Opportunity Youth have agency and leadership; that Opportunity Youth access quality training, services and support; that ecosystem actors enhance collaboration for shared and expanded impact; and that ecosystem actors influence youth livelihood systems.

Toward this end, CRS has privately funded the project, Youth for Youth (Y4Y), a three-year project aimed at improving the lives and livelihoods of Rwandan youth entrepreneurs through access to business development services, including digital services to help them run their businesses. Additionally, Y4Y aims to strengthen the broader enabling environment to broaden pathways for youth entrepreneurs to access services and financial support that will allow them to start and run commercially sustainable businesses. To date, close to 50,000 youth entrepreneurs have participated in Y4Y activities. 

2. Purpose

The purpose of this final evaluation is to assess the extent to which Y4Y has achieved its intended outcomes, identify lessons learned, and provide actionable recommendations for CRS’ future youth projects that target youth entrepreneurs. Particular attention will be paid to the following learning goals of the project:
