<p>The change theory to stimulate youth engagement and empowerment in agri-food systems in SSA.</p>

The steps needed to move from the current situation to the desired change are mapped from left to right in different colours to separate the four change domains. The enablers guiding the theory of change are displayed in pictograms between the outputs and outcomes. The impacts are represented in circles to show the relationships among the different impact areas and their linkages to the Sustainable Development Goal targets. The inputs, outputs, enablers, and outcomes outlined in this change theory framework are not specific to any agricultural commodity or value chain. It is intended to provide a starting point for developing a theory of change at the project level and context-specific interventions for youth participation and empowerment in chosen agri-food system activities. It represents the broad-spectrum key areas where transformation is required to enable a conducive environment that promotes youth livelihoods and well-being through effective participation in agri-food systems (Source: developed by the authors).
