Measuring Youth Competencies across Contexts: Lessons from Implementers on How to Adapt Soft Skills Measurement Tools

The purpose of this technical brief, developed by USAID YouthPower Learning's Community of Practice on Cross-Sectoral Skills, is to gather and synthesize lessons learned from implementers’ experiences adapting soft skills measurement tools in diverse geographic and cultural contexts through a brief scan of the literature and three implementer case studies. It is not intended as technical guidance for tool adaptation, but instead as a means of leveraging the knowledge and experiences of community of practice (CoP) members to improve practice by identifying common challenges and lessons learned.
