The Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities (DWYPD), National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), and Wildlife and Environment Association of South Africa (WESSA) have partnered to generate a youth resilience framework to positively impact the lives of young South Africans. The project is funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
The purpose of the study is to investigate risks to youth resilience (especially violence and crime as risk factors) and to develop a Youth Resilience Framework to enhance youth resilience in South Africa.
The University of Pretoria project leaders, Prof. Ruth Mampane, Prof. Funke Omidire, and Prof. Liesel Ebersöhn, Department of Educational Psychology and the Centre for the Study of Resilience presented their findings of the Youth Resilience framework project to the NYRI partners recently.
The process was carried out in three phases:
Phase 1 – Desktop research, systematic review, rapid evidence assessment on global knowledge on youth resilience.
Phase 2 – Participatory Reflection and Action activities, online focus group discussions, and member checking.
Phase 3 – Synthesis of Phases 1 and 2 to produce the NYRI framework.
The official launch of the framework will be announced soon, and its impact promises to reach South African youth, far and wide!
