INSIDE A WIN-WIN RELATIONSHIP In 2005, after re-examining its approach to pro-bono commitments, global PR ďŹ rm Porter Novelli (PN) chose the International Youth Foundation as its probono client. PN decided to concentrate its communications efforts on YouthActionNetâ&#x201E;˘, an IYF program that identiďŹ es and supports young social entrepreneurs leading change in their own communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being able to tell a story in a strategic way, in a compelling way, is often something that nonproďŹ ts need assistance with,â&#x20AC;? says IYFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vice President Alan Williams, who is pleased that the relationship with PN continues to evolve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Porter Novelli has become a key partnerâ&#x20AC;? for the program as it expands its reach around the world, Williams adds. BeneďŹ ts of this pro-bono relationship to IYF are many. Locally based PN staff support the growing number of YouthActionNetâ&#x201E;˘ Institutes in countries such as Mexico, Turkey, Spain and Brazil, using their media expertise to mobilize interest in youth leadership initiatives and mentoring young leaders. In addition, the PN ofďŹ ce in Washington, DC, conducts a one-day intensive training seminar for program participants to help â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next generation of leaders become better communicators,â&#x20AC;? explains Jim Healy, Senior Vice President at PN. For Porter Novelli, the beneďŹ ts are personal as well as practical. Says Healy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When [employees] in their twenties meet these young people, they get ďŹ red up. The opportunities are there professionally, for sure, but personally, these folks are inspired.â&#x20AC;? # XGTUKQP QH VJKU CTVKENG QTKIKPCNN[ CRRGCTGF KP PR Week, #RTKN

IYF
A Catalyst for Collaboration
The International Youth Foundation spearheaded efforts in 2004 to establish ELSA with support from USAID. IYF continues to play a key coordinating and planning role in the Alliance, with a special focus on capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, and life skills education.
Along with IYF, founding ELSA members include the Ayala Foundation, the Consuelo Foundation, the Petron Foundation, Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Regional Center for Educational Innovation and Technology (SEAMEO-INNOTECH).
ELSA is one of the public-private alliances implementing programs under USAIDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Education Quality and Access for Learning and Livelihood Skills (EQuALLS) project. Planning is currently underway for Phase II of ELSA to expand its reach and deepen its impact. FALL 2007 // YOUth

#ETQUU VJG 0GVYQTM IYF improves the lives of young people worldwide through its unique global network of locally rooted foundations and non-governmental organizations. This group of institutions provides critical knowledge on the needs of young people in their communities, as well as the expertise and capacity to help design and implement IYF programs on the ground. The IYF Global Network is a powerful force working on behalf of youth in 70 countries and territories. Here are just a few recent highlights from those at the heart of IYF’s work.
PERU // Child Labor
RUSSIA // School Reform
CHINA // Migrant Youth
Street theater shows. Book deliveries to out-of-school children. Meetings with government leaders. These and many other activities across Peru drew attention to the 2007 World Day Against Child Labor on June 12. Organizations and foundations, including IYF partner Centro de Información y Educación para la Prevención del abuso de Drogas (CEDRO), facilitated the day’s events.
The New Perspectives Foundation (NPF) recently received a US$1.5 million grant from the Russian Federation Ministry of Education to help improve and modernize the school system and mobilize public support among parents, school alumni, businesses and civic organizations for such reforms.
The China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF) recently embarked on a program to provide job training to young people from the migrant community. The Foundation’s flagship program, “Project Hope,” has enabled 2.75 million children living in rural areas to complete their elementary education.
Partner Profile: NPF Founded: 1995 Mission: To empower young people to build democracy in their communities, regions and countries. Partnership with IYF: Promotes interest and learning in the field of IT among Russian youth through a partnership with Alcatel-Lucent.
Partner Profile: CYDF Founded: 1989 Mission: To raise awareness of children and youth issues and enhance learning and life skills opportunities. Partnership with IYF: Supports vocational and life skills training among migrant youth, ages 16 to 20, through a partnership with the Tiger Woods Foundation.

9GNEQOG IYF proudly announces the addition of three new partners to its global network.
CANADA // Free the Children
MEXICO // Proeducación
KENYA // NairoBits Trust
Free the Children is the world’s largest network of children helping children through education, with more than one million youth involved in innovative education and development programs in 45 countries. Founded in 1995, the organization promotes youth leadership, volunteerism and global awareness.
Founded in 1997, Proeducación works to improve the quality of education in 27 primary schools in marginalized communities in Mexico City and across the country. Using a holistic and community-based approach, the organization works directly with teachers, parents and students to improve the learning environment in classrooms.
NairoBits Trust, a nonprofit organization in Kenya, provides education to children living in urban slums and works to close the digital divide through a range of educational programs. Established in 2000, NairoBits helps prepare young people for future employment through training opportunities in entrepreneurship, technology and multi-media skills.
As part of IYF’s global youth development initiative with Nokia, Free the Children will assist 45 secondary school students to produce a documentary about social engagement. The students will travel overseas to make the film, which, along with accompanying resource guides, will prompt discussions among another 10,000 young people.
YYY HTGGVJGEJKNFTGP EQO
Over the next three years, as part of the global youth development initiative of Nokia and IYF, Proeducación will implement the Escuela Integral program in four marginalized public schools in Mexico City. The program expects to reach more than 1,200 students, 600 parents and 70 teachers and school administrators.

As a partner of the IYF and Microsoft “Youth Empowerment” program, NairoBits Trust will help reach 40,000 young people across Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal and Tanzania with employability training and job-placement assistance

The changing face of youth unemployment in Egypt: One public/private partnership offers a real-world solution BY DR. IMAN EL KAFFASS
Young people in Egypt have little access to practical job and entrepreneurship training. Indeed, despite positive economic trends, employers in the country are reporting that the lack of skilled graduates limits the growth and vitality of their businesses. Looking ahead, many Egyptian policymakers worry that the rapidly changing marketplace will make youth even less prepared to work in the nation’s emerging economic reality.

In Indonesia, EEA is helping a dozen youth entrepreneurs create an additional 230 jobs in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthquake-affected region. EEA also helps fund an entrepreneurship training project with the Oracle Education Foundation and Junior Achievement for 2,900 vocational school students in Jakarta. Other programs, in partnership with BP, will help employ close to 400 young people through entrepreneurship and employability training for businesses in West Java.
w
Through EEA in the Philippines, nearly 2,500 outof-school youth in the conďŹ&#x201A;ict areas of Mindanao will beneďŹ t from technical education programs providing direct connections to jobs and equivalency degrees. Among this group, 1,000 youth will be trained in seaweed production on the conďŹ&#x201A;ict-affected island of Tawi Tawi and 900 young people who are children of ex-combatants will receive civil trades training.

A PARTING SHOT â&#x20AC;&#x153;During a side visit out of Dakar, Senegal, I stopped for lunch in the town of Thiès. A few minutes earlier, I had seen this young man on the street begging passers-by for money with not much success. I found him later sitting on the steps of C YCNNGF EQWTV[CTF JQRKPI VQ TGEGKXG UQOG NGČ&#x17D;over food from the restaurant where I was hav-
ing lunch. Both his determination and resignation VQWEJGF OG + NKČ&#x17D;GF O[ ECOGTC CU JG UGGOGF FGGR in his thoughts, and took this picture.
