Education provides significant benefits to individuals, societies, and the world. It enables people to gain skills and knowledge that allow them to earn more money and live better lives. However, many parts of the world still face problems in ensuring universal access to education, especially for girls. Issues include inadequate funding, lack of schools and teachers, and costs of attending school. To address these problems, initiatives aim to increase attendance, promote equal access for boys and girls through scholarships, and reduce class sizes.

This document discusses political and civic participation in youth development as measured by the Youth Development Index (YDI). It notes that youth participation in formal politics is declining globally except in new democracies, though youth are more engaged in civic affairs through alternative modes of participation and technology. Enhancing youth participation requires measures like civic education, quotas, and citizenship education. The YDI measures youth development across five domains using 18 indicators, though data gaps exist, particularly in political and civic participation. Gender gaps also differ between regions and more disaggregated data is needed. Sub-national data is important to avoid averages hiding variations, and challenges collecting such data include outdated sources and competing priorities.

This document summarizes a research article that examines the prevalence and influence of cyberbullying behavior on self-esteem and body image among adolescents. It finds that cyberbullying is a widespread and growing problem affecting 20-40% of youth. Studies show cyberbullying is associated with negative consequences like lower self-esteem, depression, feelings of powerlessness, and academic difficulties. The rapid rise of internet and smartphone use among adolescents has increased their risk of being both victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is committed to providing development assistance that improves the lives of women, men, and children around the world. USAID has a special interest in the advancement of women worldwide. Women’s health, education, economic opportunity and human rights are at the core of successful, stable societies and economic growth. One of the fundamental principles of the Department of State/USAID strategic plan is that “all citizens, men and women, are vital to meeting the critical challenges of today and reaching the goals of equality, peace and security.” USAID’s commitment to the full inclusion of women dates back to 1973, when the United States Congress passed the “Percy Amendment” to the Foreign Assistance Act, requiring that particular attention be given to integrating women into national economies to improve the status of women and to assist the overall development effort. Today, USAID embraces this goal, and seeks to understand the different needs of men and women, to improve the efficiency and overall impact of its programs, and to ensure that both women and men have equitable access to development activities and their benefits. This document profiles USAID efforts to address barriers to full access to opportunity for women and men throughout the developing world. The success stories are a testament to the progress women and men have made. The selected examples illustrate the many efforts made by the USAID field missions, the Office of Women in Development, and other operating units in USAID to fully integrate women into development programs and policies throughout USAID. It is important to note that women’s leadership is not treated as a separate category in this report, but is reflected in all the examples. Women are becoming political leaders, grassroots leaders, leaders in their professions, leaders in their communities, and heads of households, especially in regions ravaged by HIV/AIDS and conflict, and are growing into leaders in many other ways. As a result, all USAID efforts to support women’s skills, opportunities and rights contribute to “women’s leadership.” WOMEN, MEN AND DEVELOPMENT 1
