The project aims to improve access to basic education and sustainable livelihoods for more than 200,000 children and youth, men and women, by reducing the intergenerational effects of household poverty. The three programming components aim to increase the access of girls and marginalized children to quality basic education, to improve vocational and entrepreneurial skills of women and youth, and to improve the access of women and youth to microfinance and productive assets. A rights-based approach is used that places a heavy emphasis on participation of children, youth and families. Plan International Canada implements the program in partnership with the seven Plan country offices that in turn partner with the government and local non-governmental organizations. The public engagement in Canada component aims to engage the development understanding and involvement of 150,000 youth in issues of basic education and sustainable livelihoods.
