YOUTH INTERVENTIONS MODEL The youth interventions model is informed by consolidated findings from at least six research studies undertaken during the program’s ‘refine and implementation’ year. Through these findings, Takunda’s Youth Strategy intentionally streamlines best practices for meaningful youth engagement. Recommendations included fostering intergenerational partnerships, lifeskills training and leveraging of existing youth friendly spaces and youth champions. This influenced the program’s selection and adoption of Positive Youth Development-oriented approaches and interventions.
