Hello everyone, I\'m currently designing a youth empowerment project for young people aged 18–24 in Ethiopia.combining an intensive training with follow-up phase focused on application and growth.
My question is: What are the most effective ways to structure a program like this to balance depth (impact on participants) and sustainability (time, resources, and future growth)?
I would especially value insights on how to design the follow-up phase so it remains impactful without requiring excessive resources.
Thank you !

Thanks for making this platform. I\'m working on a project that seems to put me in a cross-road, I think. So, How can I balance being a voice for young people’s real frustrations (assuming I\'m one of them) while maintaining a calm, analytical, and non-reactive tone that builds long-term credibility?
