Introducing the Kectil Global Youth Index

The Kectil Global Youth Index turns multi-year Youth Speak survey work into public research — so the priorities of young people in developing countries are visible to policymakers, partners, and the Alumni who carry this work into their communities.

Across recent survey waves, nearly 5,000 youth voices shape the Index: 4,958 survey responses from respondents representing 113 home countries, with a median respondent age of 23. Survey years 2025–2026 continue the multi-year voice data Kectil uses to surface regional insights, essays, and practical context for leadership conversations.

Alumni do not need a separate research desk to start: the Index packages findings for public reading, while this Alumni site is where graduates stay connected, publish field notes, and turn evidence into local action.
