2009 Global Youth Enterprise Conference
September 29-30, 2009
Washington, DC
The 2009 Global Youth Enterprise Conference convened 300 practitioners, funders, educators, researchers, policymakers, and youth entrepreneurs from 42 countries. Conference participants shared their lessons learned, promising practices, and innovative ideas related to youth enterprise, employment, and livelihoods development through the following tracks:
      1. Program Design & Implementation;
      2. Policy & Advocacy;
      3. Monitoring, Evaluation & Impact Assessment;
      4. Partnerships; and
      5. Cross-Cutting
Through these tracks, conference participants exchanged information and experiences on topics, such as working with adolescent girls, implementing initiatives in conflict-affected environments, microfranchising, entrepreneurship education, scale, sustainability, market-driven approaches, and others. A whole half-day focused on the new and growing field of Youth-Inclusive Financial Services. Participants have reported that as a direct result of having attended, they gained new technical capacity, explored new partnerships, and shared information with leading stakeholders from around the world.
