This will be a year long study and could be used for an undergraduate or graduate thesis.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-11	Arabic, French , Spanish	Analytical writing, Data analysis, Data visualization, Editing and proofreading, Graphic design, Research, Writing	Today, the world’s 1.2 billion young people aged 15 to 24 years make up 16 percent of the global population, most of them in developing countries. Youth have a critical role in development efforts in peacebuilding, economic development, health, and civic and political participation. Youth centers, safe spaces and after-school programs are designed to provide an enabling environment for youth development at the individual and community levels. These spaces connect youth with mentors, allow for healthy, safe, peer-to-peer interaction, and teach valuable life skills and behaviors. This is particularly critical for marginalized groups such as youth with disabilities or females, who may lack a broad range of opportunities for public socialization. The purpose of this desk study is to develop a report and presentation of promising practices and evidence on what works in improving youth centers, safe spaces, and after-school programs globally. The overarching theme is how to use these types of activities to support positive youth development and how to increase the effectiveness, scale, and sustainability of these type of programs. The results from this desk review will be used to develop research briefs which will serve as a resource for policymakers and practitioners interested in evidence-based best practices and examples of youth spaces.

This journey is long, and young people must get involved as early as possible to help build the structural and agricultural transformations needed to move beyond foreign assistance. Young people are also critical to global stability, economic growth and development today and into the future. Youth empowerment and livelihoods are critical to achieving each of the GFSS objectives: 1) inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led growth, 2) strengthened resilience among people and systems, and 3) a well-nourished population, especially among women and children. Interns involved in this project will support the work of the USAID Bureau for Food Security (BFS) in strengthening youth contributions to inclusive development in line with the USAID Youth in Development Policy, the USAID Gender in Development Strategy and the Agency’s Positive Youth Development approach. Intern/s will: • Conduct trend analyses of key youth development indicators based on data available for USAID BFS priority countries. • Update BFS information on the landscape of activities undertaken to engage youth in Feed the Future and other programming. • Prepare research and issue briefs on topics related to youth, gender and food systems, with a focus on agriculture-led growth (including systems approaches), resilience, nutrition and water security, sanitation and hygiene. • Research and write brief stories describing program approaches and impact, capturing in particular the voices and experiences of female and male young people in collaboration with points of contact in USAID country missions. • Conduct literature reviews on relevant topics such as youth-focused, gender-sensitive market systems change approaches to agriculture-led growth and youth and water security. • Suggest assignments based on interns’ own areas of interest and expertise as relevant to BFS inclusive development objectives.		United States	Global	Up to four interns will work on this project. Internships are the most successful when they involve not only the completion of a set of tasks outlined by the requesting agency but when they also offer opportunities for interns to propose ideas in line with their unique interests. Each intern will thus be welcome to propose and and potentially pursue tasks they believe will support attention to youth in any area of the Bureau for Food Security's work.

To limit the extent of dangerous climate change, there is a strong need to limit agricultural expansion while ensuring a secure supply of food, especially in developing countries with high rates of poverty and malnutrition. In response to this need, development agencies including USAID have advanced numerous efforts to increase crop production on a parcel of land while avoiding expansion and other negative consequences of some agricultural practices (“sustainable intensification”). However, implementing these programs successfully is challenging and frequently focuses on increasing production with scant attention to expansion into forests and other ecosystems. Collaborating with staff in the Office of Global Climate Change (GCC), and building on existing GCC analysis, the Fellow will develop a series of case studies that illustrate necessary conditions for sustainable intensification to succeed, the types of evidence required to assess success, and the integrity of past claims of success. These case studies will form part of a larger set of guidance materials intended to help USAID staff design effective sustainable intensification programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land use change while improving food security.

Data analysis, Research, Writing	Climate Risk Management Learning and Research	Conduct and assist with analysis and research related to the practice of climate risk management.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-8		Data analysis, Research, Writing	Weather and climate impacts are already undermining progress in reducing poverty and improving economic growth in countries around the world, as well as compromising the effectiveness and resilience of U.S. development assistance. To address this, USAID is implementing climate risk management (CRM): the practice of assessing, addressing and adaptively managing climate risks to development objectives. An important aspect of CRM is the assessment of current and future climate risks and opportunities at various points in USAID’s program cycle. As climate risk management is implemented, it is important to learn from the process and results so that improvements can be made. Likewise, it is important to stay abreast of new developments and innovative practices in climate risk management and risk management more generally, from theory to practice. The Fellow will assist with assessing the quality and effectiveness of risk assessments and management and with research on climate risk management. The Fellow may also help capture and share examples from the field.
