The Fund for Evaluation in Youth Employment was founded by the Youth Employment Network (YEN) with financial support of Jacobs Foundation, Silatech and the Danish sponsored Africa Commission. The fund offers financial support to organizations working for the welfare of youth and providing them opportunities for employment. Every year, the fund invites proposals asking youth employment projects to submit evaluation proposals.
