Final Evaluation of Youth and Urban Regeneration Somalia (YOURS) Project

The YOURS project successfully contributed to sustainable urban development by building resilient communities, providing urban services, and creating livelihood opportunities for residents and marginalized groups, notably through the construction of permanent housing for IDPs and enhancing youth employability through various skills training.

The project's achievements include securing legal housing for IDPs, fostering economic empowerment, improving youth incomes through skill development, and creating sustainable partnerships with state and non-state actors. Additionally, the mainstreaming of durable solution strategies into routine government functions emerged as the project's most significant success, contributing to the achievement of both the Sustainable Development Goals and national priorities.
