HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:

Empowerment is a process that increases young people’s opportunities to engage in decision-making and to act on issues that affect their lives. This process requires the development of personal capacities (such as knowledge, attitudes, and skills) as well as a supportive environment (including access to rights and resources). This factsheet outlines eight evidence-informed strategies to promote youth empowerment.
