The impact YEP makes
YEP functions as a bridge that creates mutual benefit for all stakeholders
for sustainable development in emerging markets and developing countries. The current programmes are funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the participating Dutch organisations in YEP Programmes. Since 2013, nearly 350 Young Experts in 38 countries and working with over 100 different organisations, have gained international experience in the water and agrofood sectors via YEP Programmes. This has positively affected the prospects for Dutch and local Young Experts, as well as the prosperity and local employment in developing countries.
