The Katalysis Network, an alliance of 21 Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua representing 280,000 predominantly female clients, is dedicated to advancing youth entrepreneurship, in an effort to strive for a future without poverty in Central America. This guide is intended to assist in the promotion and creation of youth programs within the Network in Central America, and worldwide, by laying out the basic steps for creating an MFI youth program. At the same time it provides tools to ensure that youth entrepreneurial programs reach the goals they set out to achieve.
