In monitoring progress of commitments to Decent Jobs for Youth, partners identified a range of implementation challenges and lessons learned, in particular those partners who are delivering interventions directly to young people in communities around the world. Here are the top five:

1️⃣ Linkages with the private sector in the design, implementation and follow-up of training programmes help drive employment outcomes for young people.
2️⃣ Weak capacity among local populations can hinder pace and quality of delivery of training programmes, particularly in newer fields of digital and ‘soft’ skills.
3️⃣ Digital technology has a key role to play in increasing reach to underserved
young people.
4️⃣ Youth champions can have a powerful role model effect especially for hard-to-reach young people.
5️⃣ Project administration issues can become significant constraints to progress on the ground.
