Deliver structured employability and livelihood learning to sponsored youth cohorts through mobile-first access.
Last reviewed: 2026-09-30
Challenge Context
The Challenge
Youth programmes often serve learners who rely primarily on smartphones and may have uneven access to laptops, transport or training centres. A mobile-first layer can extend continuity between facilitated sessions without replacing mentoring or local support.
Root Causes
Why the Gap Persists
Programme design can overestimate device access and underestimate the need for flexible engagement between workshops. When learning sits outside participants’ everyday digital habits, follow-through can weaken.
Desired Outcome
What Good Looks Like
Participants can continue employability, livelihood and pathway learning on the device they use most, while retaining the same identity and progress across web and mobile.
