What we are achieving

Component 1: Building System Understanding – engaging with urban actors to understand safety predeterminants in their urban context using systems thinking. Component 2: Capacity and Empowerment - to develop skills and local capacities in young people and municipalities through participatory training and bridge building to establish structures for meaningful youth engagement. Component 3: Innovation & Youth-Driven Action – to establish an innovation incubator to enable young people ideas to address key safety challenges selected in Component1. Component 4: Systemic Improvements & Scale – to foster preconditions of system change for safer urban environments even after the program ends, hoping that the improvement overflows from participating cities to neighboring ones. Component 5: Annual Review, Upgrade and Engagement with New cities - to review the approach, identify weaknesses, strengths and using the lessons learned, upgrade the approach and start engaging new cities to go through the whole process while maintaining activities in the current cities. Component 6: Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning – to have a MEL approach informed by systems change theory and the relational wellbeing approach that will ensure that programs outcomes are measured from a bottom-up approach and is fit for context.
