    This brief presents the lessons learned in the domain of youth financial inclusion emerging from the implementation of the project “Integrated Country Approach (ICA) for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agrifood system”. The ICA project, funded primarily by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), is currently being implemented (for the 2019-2023 period), by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in Guatemala, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, and Uganda. The brief illustrates a range of experiences and models proposed by the ICA project and its partners to facilitate youth access to formal financial services. It presents key lessons derived from the project’s experience, including the importance of enhancing youth financial literacy and their awareness of the available offer of financial services, as well as the need to introduce innovations aimed at adapting the offer of local financial services to youth’s specific needs.
