More than half of Haiti’s population (about 54%) is under 25 . Haiti's youth are resilient, forward-thinking and motivated to actively participate in their communities. However, every day they become aware of a multitude of challenges in a fragile country. More than half of 20-year-olds have not completed their formal education and nearly half of young people in the labor market are unemployed. Moreover, women are more likely to drop out of school than their male counterparts, marrying young and juggling early pregnancy and household demands. Stagnant economic growth, social inequality, instability, and lack of social or economic support have left many young people unstable at early drop-out rates; lack of employment; early marriage; drug abuse; domestic violence and homelessness. At this critical time between childhood and adulthood, youth depend on role models, guidance counselors, parents, teachers and mentors to guide them through school and create opportunities for entrepreneurship and leadership in their communities.
The areas of lawlessness continue to multiply day by day in Haiti in relation to the country's socio-political situation. The integration of young people into society and the labor market is a critical issue for the persistence of social order. After nearly 6 years of implementation in vulnerable neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince (Solino) and Carrefour (Tesso), this year (FY24), the JEN ANGAJE project decided to pilot the project in the Southern Department. For the first year, the focus will be on engaging youth in their communities, providing them with training on peace building and social cohesion between communities by integrating the PYD component.
To provide a rational basis for decision-making with a view to improving the impact of current and future youth projects, it was decided to recruit a consultant/firm to conduct operational research on young people in Haiti, more specifically in the vulnerable neighborhoods of the communes of the Department of the South and in the West (vulnerable neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince: Solino, Tesso ...).

III. GENERAL OBJECTIVE
The general objective is to carry out a study on the socio-economic and psychological situation of young people (15-30 years old) in vulnerable neighborhoods of communes of the Department of the South and in the West (1 vulnerable neighborhood of Port-au-Prince: Solino and 1 vulnerable neighborhood of Carrefour: Tesso, due to Jen Angaje project past experiences there) to better understand their living conditions and their specific needs. The result of the study will provide a basis for the design of projects for young people.
IV. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
- Analyze the level of involvement of young people in activities concerning their community.
- Analyze the impact of the political and security situation on young people.
- Analyze the resilience of young people in the municipalities covered by the study.
