Making Cents International - 2015 Knowledge Management Resu
Making Cents regards monitoring and evaluation (M&E) as central to our work and its sustainability. To measure the resultsof our KM activities, we adapted the Ripple Model, a four-level framework for assessing impact. To better identifychanges at the impact level and establish their link to platform activities, Making Cents engaged in rigorous datacollection. We combined website and event statistics with feedback gathered from interviews and surveys with a widerange of platform participants.
Making Cents has been evaluating the effectiveness of the KM platform since the inaugural Global Youth Economic
Opportunities Summit in 2007. Over the years, we have seen that greater knowledge exchange and knowledge capitalwithin the field result in changed practices and improved performance. This process requires continued commitment fromstakeholders to advance from the initial sharing of knowledge to the demonstrated increase in program impact.
The following pages share level 14 results of our KM activities in 2015. Making Cents will continue to track these resultsto determine ongoing performance improvement.

ANNUAL GLOBAL YOUTH ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES SUMMITThe Global Youth Economic Opportunities Summit is designed to increase the impact, scale, and sustainability of youth economicopportunity programming. Each year, the Summit brings together key youth development stakeholders to share concrete andtransferable learning in a forthright, pragmatic, and interactive manner. It is a true global convening with signicant representationof organizations and individuals from emerging economies.
Making Cents operates the annual Summit on a not-for-prot,cost-recovery basis. The Summit's demand-driven nature isdemonstrated by the co-investment that individuals andorganizations make in the event. In 2015, 199 organizations,including presenters, paid for 450 participant registrations. Inaddition to these fees, a wide range of organizationscontributed sponsorships and in-kind support to advanceSummit goals, increase the visibility of their work, andincrease networking opportunities.
Making Cents uses the term co-investment because these
fee s, spo nsor shi ps, and in- kin d reso urce s are theinvestments that have supported the organization of theSummit in each of the past eight years. This proven andsustainable model differs from unsustainable conveningslinked to one-off corporate or foundation grants and projectfunding that comes to an end.
SUSTAINABILITYThe three-day 2015 Global Youth Economic OpportunitiesSummit featured the important theme, Scale in Practice, aswell as a half-day focus on Frontiers of Soft Skills. The eventwas structured along ve demand-driven tracks: workforcedevelopment, nancial inclusion, enterprise development,M&E, and gender. The cross-cutting topics of technology andurban-focused programming were streamlined throughout.
The Summit uses technical workshops, plenary discussions,networking events, and structured meetings to support theexchange of concrete and transferable knowledge on the latest
research, lessons learned, promising practices, and key gapsin knowledge and effective practice. As a result, participantsidentify organizations with whom they form or deepenpartnerships, gain visibility for their work, and improve theirtechnical capacity. In addition, participants report greatermotivation for their work.

I am the head of research for an organization that teaches entrepreneurship in low income schools globally. The conference exposed me todiverse array of evaluation programs like ours, and helped me nd the language and context I needed to better explain my process and effortsmy colleagues.- Thomas Gold, Vice President, Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), USA
Prior to attending the Summit, the question of whether to target our products to teachers or children was a signicant internal debate that oorganization was having. During the Summit, I learned that many organizations and funders were investing budget, support, and programmiefforts towards developing resources for teachers. I was able to share this key information back with our team and we have incorporated thchange into our strategic plan for next year.- Chandra Pudjiatie, Digital Learning Coordinator, Aflatoun, The Netherlands
The Global Youth Economic Opportunities Summit provided great networking and learning opportunities. The theme on Scale in Practicreally stood out for me. It was great learning about tools for measuring and evaluating projects based on sustainability and scalingopportunities, the foundation and ultimate objective of all our programs, and we don't have to reinvent the wheel for measuring such impacts- Ida Kristine Haavi, Managing Director, Partnership for Change, Norway
The Summit was an amazing opportunity for me and our partners from Kenya and Indonesia to talk with other implementers and experts in tdevelopment space. I am pleased to have walked away from the Summit with valuable connections and potential new partners
- Tara Vanacore, Program Officer, East and Southeast Asia, Global Fund for Children, USAAt the time, I attended the Summit as a consultant on behalf of a foundation I was working for. I was able to collect a lot of o ver-archconcepts and themes and utilize that for a total rebranding of the foundation's website and social media presence. It was very inuential in tre-branding process, especially in updating the language and bringing it into more current terms. These changes were then translated irequests for funding, strategic plans, and partnership agreements.- Susan Lightfoot, Independent Consultant, USA
One presentation I attended at the Summit a few years ago reviewed online and ofine databases used in schools. At the time, in our owprogramming in schools in East Africa, we had limited access to electricity and online access. After learning about this particular databacalled RACHEL at the workshop, we were able to install a server and load all necessary tools for the classroom. Now, even though there is ninternet access, students and teachers can log on to the server. This is not only helpful for students and their ability to do research and studyis really helpful for teachers and provides 163,000 youth from 200 schools access to the resources they need in o rder to continue learning evwhen the electricity is out. This change happened two years ago and continues to have a positive impact on our schools today.- Ashley Orton, Global Programs Director, Asante Africa, USA

They have even started their own youth employment programs! We have also combined some of our programs together, making ours mustronger. Now, we're looking to expand together to other parts of Vietnam.- Alberto Canovas, Operations Manager, Youth Career Initiative, Business in the Community, UK
At the conference, I learned that Microsoft was looking to provide more online educational resources as a part of their jobs portal. I was ableconnect with their team and now we have a wonderful partnership where they are listing all of our best free courses.The other big thing that came out of the conference was our partnership with the Anudip Foundation. They are a group based in India who doestraining for rural workers to get better jobs. After learning about their mission, we offered them 1,000 of our top quality business trainicourses at a reduced cost. This enabled their program graduates to access top quality training on marketing, leadership, technology, desigand human resources. The original pilot was for 300 people, and the hope this year is to expand to a few thousand.- Meg Evans, Business Development Account Manager, Udemy

practitioners who are developing sustainable business models, cross-sector partnerships and innovative technologies to help the
companies better address global challenges related to youth economic empowerment. The meeting provided an open space where participan

At the time of the webinar on transition between education and employment, we were in the process of writing up our ideas for the extension
