Website Guide

Welcome to the CYES Network Global Learning Platform!

This site aims to build a comprehensive body of knowledge on the field of economic strengthening for vulnerable children and youth across sectors and geographic locations by generating and sharing learning with a broad audience.

The tools we use to accomplish this are:

  • Activities Map


    The interactive map plots the location of CYES activities around the world. You can filter the activities by type of economic intervention by clicking on the boxes to the right of the map. “Re-clicking” the same filter will return you to the full map view. To zoom in on a certain country or activity, click the red dots. This will lead you to activity descriptions and contact information. {Zoom back up to the global level by backtracking through the “breadcrumb” links directly above the map.}

  • Blog

    The blog is the voice of our site. Each month, we add new expert opinions to the site through this tool on issues important to CYES programming. Contributors come from a range of disciplines and sectors, and are united by their commitment to advancing the economic strengthening of vulnerable youth and children. Please comment on their posts to add your voice and experience to the conversation! In addition, the blog is the place to look for the latest news and information.

  • Resources

    The Resources section houses a library of publications, websites and other materials related to children, youth and economic strengthening. Search the database for tools, guidelines, case studies and more by using the resource search function or by using the sidebar on the right to browse by type of intervention, topic area, or type of material.

  • Events

    View upcoming seminars, conferences, and trainings in the Events section. Past events are accessible through search or by browsing topic area, in order to allow access to online archives, including presentations, transcripts, and streaming video where offered.
