9 youth-led and youth-serving organizations within the Issue-based Collaborative Network have launched an impact project called “Socio-Economic Reintegration of 45 Unemployed and Underrepresented Youth in Kinshasa”.

Funded under the Youth Represent DRC project implemented in Kinshasa by the Centre de Recherche sur l’Anti-Corruption, this Quick Impact Project aims at detoxification and psychosocial care of 45 young people and training in entrepreneurship and business creation for 45 young people in Kinshasa.

Youth Represent DRC is part of the activities carried out under USAID’s global Youth Excel: Our Knowledge, Leading Change program, led by IREX. Through Youth Excel, youth-led and youth-serving organizations in Kinshasa collaborate and conduct implementation research, learning how to strengthen the inclusion of underrepresented and marginalized youth in education and workforce development in DRC.
