| Background | The YIELD Hub has been working to improve young people's partnership in Adolescent and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) by facilitating action learning processes and influencing norm change. The Hub uses action learning, a problem-solving method used to generate innovative solutions to complex problems, to develop new and creative ways for adolescents and youth to get involved in Adolescent and Youth SRHR. The YIELD Hub convenes and engages Adolescent and Youth SRHR stakeholders to reflect and change practices in ways that support partnership with adolescents and youth in SRHR work. The Hub's work to date has been informed by the YIELD Hub Theory of Change (2020), which has served as a field-building tool guiding work on youth partnership in AYSRHR. Four years after the framework's release, the YIELD Hub and partners in the AYSRHR field embarked on a comprehensive review of the theory of change (ToC) to respond to developments in the youth partnership and AYSRHR field. |
