Social Transformation Officers (STOs) can now better access social protection support services and create resilient pathways for community residents by leveraging support from the Youth Resilience, Inclusion, and Empowerment (Y-RIE) Programme.

Initiated in 2022 by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Y-RIE aims to enhance community and family support systems for youth at risk by using evidence-based learning methods, referral system evaluations, community mapping surveys, mental health, and psychosocial support services and a sustainable social protection system.
