dc.description.abstract	Governments in sub-Saharan Africa are prioritizing agriculture and youth development to meet rising environmental, economic, political, and population challenges. Failure to feed the growing population or engage youth in economically meaningful opportunities could threaten peace and stability in the region; however, these challenges also offer new opportunities to educate, empower, and engage youth as drivers of economic and social change and innovation. School- based agricultural education (SBAE) offers a cost-effective, scalable, and transformative solution. An expanded model of SBAE rooted in the traditional U.S. model was first piloted by AgriCorps in 2012 and 2013. Since 2014, Liberia, Ghana, and Uganda have adopted this model of SBAE. This paper seeks to define SBAE, determine factors that make it a successful model, and examine enabling environments from each case study to propose a set of indicators for future implementers that predicts where this intervention would be most effective.
