Collaboration with the World Bank

As part of this effort, ICP has been working closely with the Children and Youth Unit at the World Bank to promote youth service as a strategy for youth and national development.

Youth service was included as a strategy for youth development in the World Development Report 2007, Development and the Next Generation. ICP commends the Bank's focus on active citizenship and the potential of youth service and service-learning as strategies toward development.


The most relevant chapter of the WDR for field of youth service is Chapter 7, titled "Exercising Citizenship." In this portion of the report, youth service is cited as having a positive impact through the promotion of civic engagement.


ICP has worked closely with World Bank staff for the past two years to promote youth service as a strategy for development and provided significant input during the development and editing of the report.


Throughout this collaboration, ICP has developed the following materials:

  1. The World Bank's Youth Development Note, Youth Service A Strategy for Youth and National Development, authored by ICP.
  2. ICP's presentation to the World Bank on youth service as it relates to development.
