Positive Youth Development (PYD) and Youth Resilience - Synopsis: There is a rich and important debate in the literature on the causal link between positive youth development and resilience. This research aims at analyzing the effects of positive youth development based interventions on resilience in two USAID funded projects: Sharekna in Tunisia and Programma Para Futuro (PPF) in Mozambique. The research uses a mixed methods research design that combines a quasi-experimental design using pretest and posttest with multiple nonequivalent control groups; with social network analysis and case studies.
