How transition to livelihood opportunities interventions are Value for Money

This document presents an extract of a Value for Money (VfM) analysis conducted for a transition to livelihood opportunities intervention in Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria, implemented from October 2020 and December 2023.

The intervention used a safe space model and aimed to improve the wellbeing of adolescents and young people aged 10 to 24 years in Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria, by increasing access to educational, economic, and civic engagement opportunities.
