I4DI supported a blended investment partnership between Mars Inc. Indonesia, Swisscontact, and MCA in the design of the NextGen program- a youth engagement initiative designed to strengthen STEM education in technical/vocational schools and increase interest among youth in professional cocoa farming. I4DI conducted an extensive qualitative study of youth developmental assets in three cocoa farming communities, as well as developed a compendium of customized indicators for monitoring the performance and sustainability of the NextGen project.
