This report presents a synthesis of the methods and findings of a participatory study in Ghana, Mozambique and Vietnam, examining the social impact of crises on youth. It explores the perspectives of young people on their vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms, with a particular focus on the global "triple-F" crises (financial, food, fuel) and climate change. The youth population (aged 14-25) is critical to the progress of all three countries, and understanding how their social and economic development are affected by global shocks and how they can be better equipped to cope with them is crucial for policy development.
