This publication is intended to assist field practitioners, youth organizations and other stakeholders to identify binding constraints and viable opportunities for youth engagement in value chains that can translate into greater youth inclusion. Considering youth heterogeneity and inequalities, the youth-sensitive framework for value chain analysis gives guidance to assess factors that push and pull youth into employment and entrepreneurship in value chains. The youth-sensitive value chain (YSVC) analysis is a starting point for youth-inclusive agricultural value chain development since it identifies entry points and key actions expected to bring about the desired increase in employment and business opportunities for youth within a more attractive agriculture sector.
