In this knowledge brief, the authors highlight different ways in which youth employment projects in S4YE’s community of practice, the impact portfolio, are adapting their strategies and delivery models in response to Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Based on recent and ongoing discussions with the partners, the authors see six main trends that programs are using to maintain operational and programmatic continuity. These include scaling of virtual operations, crowdsourcing ideas from youth, accelerating remote learning, encouraging youth voice, increased support for micro, small and medium enterprises, and leveraging new growth opportunities. Overall, the authors see a deepening and widening of the ways the partners are using digital technology to be effective and to reach more youth in these challenging times. 2020-10-30T15:10:15Z 2020-10-30T15:10:15Z 2020-10 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/541771603183962317/How-are-Youth-Employment-Programs-Adapting-to-COVID-19 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34703 English Solutions for Youth Employment Knowledge Brief;No. 10 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief
