The starting point is the following irony: while African youth are demographically dominant, most see themselves as members of an outcast minority. The irony directly informs young people's lives in war-affected Africa, where differences separating the priorities of youth and those of international agencies are especially prominent. Drawing on interviews with development experts and young people, Marc Sommers shines a light on this gap and offers guidance on how to close it. He begins with a comprehensive consideration of forces that shape and propel the lives of African youth today, particularly those experiencing or emerging from war. They are contrasted with forces that influence and constrain the international development aid enterprise. The book concludes with a framework for making development policies and practices significantly more relevant and effective for youth in areas affected by African wars and other places where vast and vibrant youth populations reside. 606 $aYouth$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aYouth$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 606 $aYouth and war$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xSocial conditions$y21st century 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aYouth$xSocial conditions 615 0$aYouth$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aYouth and war 676 $a305.242096709/05 700 $aSommers$b Marc$0924446 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461049203321 996 $aThe outcast majority$92074485 997 $aUNINA
