Learning Series No. 6 Entra 21 is an initiative of Multilateral Investment Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank, the International Youth Foundation (IYF) and USAID that was created in 2001 to improve the employability of disadvantaged youth in Latin America and the Caribbean and place them in decent jobs. IYF commissioned a study of the six scale projects funded under Phase II of entra21 to gain greater knowledge on how to increase the scale of practices and methodologies used in training and placing disadvantaged youth in decent work. The study focused on projects in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Peru where the Foundation’s partners had collaborated with their respective governments to transfer proven practices to institutions in the public and private sectors. All sought to increase coverage—that is to reach more youth with quality youth employment services through the transfer of innovations to existing programs or systems.
