Client: International Youth Foundation
Service: MSD

In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, the International Youth Foundation (IYF) implemented Via – pathways to employment, a 5-year program in Mozambique, Tanzania, and Morocco. Via was a program that, applying IYF’s tested Passport to Success (PTS) methodology, aimed to transform the delivery of the public Technical and Vocational Education Training system in each country, to ultimately improve youth’s access to employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.   

MSA partnered with IYF over 24 months to support applying market systems development approaches to a program in its portfolio for the first time in its history. This included developing guidance documents and methodologies, training staff, and support during research, analysis, and strategy design.
