If technology had been more cooperative, an online platform for people to share comments & questions would have been great since there was not enough airtime for everyone

USAID openness

It support - because the menti was slow, some inputs were not captured.

I loved how the team was able to adapt and guide the It to support each session better.

Live interpretation, the interpreters were translating everything literally, so the context was missing, also we need to talk slowly.

# data[].attributes.body
Follow up from each session and close the feedback loop - i.e. if we heard lots of demand or suggestions for XYZ, what will YE do and what can partners do to use the feedback and make improvement

# data[].attributes.body
More time for recovering our energy (like the activity lead by Elizabeth from MIRIAM).

# data[].attributes.body
I know this is related with available funds, but - some time (half day or a day) before and after of the Summit for people to recover from the trip in order to be prepared for all the activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe a form so they can share their feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
YE team sharing of the summit social posts/ core msgs or products atleast 2-1 each day and specific posts before the summit

# data[].attributes.body
More USAID - youth side interactions. Next time, maybe we can consider more structure/incentives to encourage this - i.e. like a "passport" of organizations to meet

# data[].attributes.body
Space in agenda for cultural exchange and for visiting Accra.

# data[].attributes.body
-Create storytellings

Having a space to share with youth from many different cultures, countries and regions! it was an amazing experience!

# data[].attributes.body
Balance "heavy" and "light" sessions to decrease mental fatigue

# data[].attributes.body
-Consider the time/agenda for people who traveled many many hours
-Create Specific Logistical Commisions to all have a role during the event

# data[].attributes.body
Should have been in the room and invited from multiple countries

# data[].attributes.body
Debrief, debrief, debrief! There is a lot of information and feelings we need to capture.

# data[].attributes.body
A structured space for networking.

# data[].attributes.body
I heard this quite a bit, especially from USAID folks. We shared excellent examples of what results had been achieved through our tools and approaches (e.g. IR Toolkit, IRGPA, ICONs etc.), but it was not easy for them to fully relate with them in the absence of a deep-dive or walk through what each of these tools/approaches actually looks like.

Build in some time for breaks and rehearsals. This could help maintain the energy level and engagement in the room.

Everyone had a chance to participate and share their point of view.

# data[].attributes.body
Review if instructions are clear enough. It all changes in person and with people with different profiles!

# data[].attributes.body
Do an AAR with our partners where possible...perhaps in a consortium meeting or part of a social hour?

# data[].attributes.body
A short space to get to know the countries of the participants
A short space to learn about Ghana Culture

USAID representatives from LAC

# data[].attributes.body
Create a platform where partners can communicate with each other (without having to go through IREX team) and build on what has been learned during the summit.

# data[].attributes.body
A less packed agenda to facilitate more time for building connections

# data[].attributes.body
We created a platform for the partners to share their work

# data[].attributes.body
How the environment was set: inclusive, youth-friendly, acknowledge of power dynamics, horizontality (is this a word?), PYD principles (especially fun, embracing failure, diversity, etc.).

# data[].attributes.body
Creating a safe space for everyone in the room

# data[].attributes.body
I loved how we had the partners front and center in everything we did

# data[].attributes.body
USAID were able to see what happens when we live out the values of "equal, open and transparent partnerships"

# data[].attributes.body
Create time for partners to tour the city and have less sessions so that we have sufficient time to engage on the presentations

# data[].attributes.body
Communication with the virtual attendees on Sept 14 live sessions, especially when there were delays in starting times.

# data[].attributes.body
Safe and trustful space to discuss

# data[].attributes.body
I had already mentioned this, but saying again for emphasis! Adult allies (not just for ICONs) who could model out to other stakeholders in the room on what allyship with youth looks like

# data[].attributes.body
Create more spaces for our partners to share their work.
Dissemination of our Knowledge products beyond the Data Summits and learning Events

# data[].attributes.body
While it was touching to see the positive feedback from the mentimeter, I also was touched when seeing the negative feedback on WhatsApp. That sounds strange, but it felt good that they trusted us enough to share feedback that was not so positive too.  -Brian

The sessions-partners practised a lot and the sessions were insightful and thought provoking
