The Cross-Sectoral Youth (CSY) Project is a multi-country EQUIP3 Associate Award that fosters collaboration across sectors (health, democracy & governance, education, environment, and economic growth) in order to meet the holistic needs of youth in developing countries. As a USAID intra-agency initiative, the project is designed to incorporate youth as a strategic priority within the U.S. Government foreign assistance framework while advancing USAID objectives. CSY provides a platform for various organizations (USAID/Washington, USAID country Mission teams from all development sectors and regions, and local organizations) to participate in youth program assessment, design, implementation and joint funding, and the analysis and dissemination of lessons learned. CSY has completed projects in Morocco and India and is currently active in the DRC.
