Now that you are familiar with the case studies and their associated approaches (in Part Two), and their associated standards and strategies (in Part Three), it is important to consider the following questions before getting started:

• Are the problems addressed and the objectives relevant to a donor agency/government and specific to the national and local context?
• Key questions to ask of the local context include:
  • Which youth are excluded?
  • Does current policy and practice treat them as beneficiaries, partners or leaders?
  • What potential opportunities are there from beneficiary to partner? From partner to leader?
  • For each lens, which approach is appropriate to these young people’s evolving capacities, fundamental interests and human rights?
• How can the process be adapted to suit existing country-level partnerships?
• Would such an intervention necessitate new partnerships?
• To what extent did the initiative satisfy the standards for youth as beneficiaries, partners and leaders?
• Was the scale appropriate?
• Was there a suitable ratio of partners/leaders to beneficiaries?
• If young people featured only as beneficiaries, what could have been done (or should be done in the future) to promote them to the level of partners or leaders?
