To this end, we work with students and teachers to build lifeskills and agency, increase meaningful youth participation, and shift school power dynamics. \n\nThe Do It Yourself (DIY) Clubs initiative is focused on shifting power dynamics and improving learning outcomes in Ugandan secondary schools. DIY is rooted in a Positive Youth Development approach, specifically the framework created by the USAID Youth Power Learning Project in 2016. It puts forth four domains-assets, agency, contribution, and enabling environment-that they argue contribute to more active, engaged, and thriving young people. The crux of DIY is providing opportunities for young people to meaningfully contribute to solving the most pressing challenges in their schools and communities. This process of designing and implementing innovative student-led service projects can be transformational, resulting in improved lifeskills and agency for DIY participants, and changing the perspectives of teachers and school administrators who often undervalue young people's contributions and underestimate their potential.\n\nDuring the period of school closure as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the DIY model was employed in a community setting with an aim of reaching out to project participants in their home communities. The concept of the project remained the same, but it was implemented in a different setting.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2019-05-15","end":"2019-07-18","cycle":"Baseline"},{"start":"2022-06-06","end":"2022-07-29","cycle":"Endline"}],"nation":[{"name":"Uganda","abbreviation":"UG"}],"analysis_unit":"Youth and teachers in the community","notes":"YOUTH: social and emotional competenec of the youth"},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"Komo Learning Centers","affiliation":"","email":"datarequests@aphrc.org","uri":"https:\/\/relimicrodata.org\/"}],"disclaimer":"The user of the data acknowledges that the original collector of the data, the authorized distributor of the data, and the relevant funding agency bear no responsibility for use of the data or for interpretations or inferences based upon such uses."}}}}
