The lived realities for youth within many African cities are of rising inequality and poverty, made more pertinent due to the increasing in number and proportion of young people in African countries. Street youth remain hidden in policy debates as they approach adulthood living in situations of vulnerability and chronic and acute stress. Diverse approaches adopted by policy makers, governments, practitioners, and academics often fail to address the needs of street youth and can exacerbate their precarity; while street youth respond with approaches which often express degrees of personal resilience, despite negative inputs. Growing up on the Streets was a participatory longitudinal research project which resulted in a substantial dataset submitted to the UK Data Service, including reports of street youth daily experiences featuring chronic and acute stress as well as their resilient responses. (2REST) Responsibilities for Resilience Embedded in Street Temporalities is a two-year project that will analyse the secondary data from Growing up on the Streets using a multisystemic resilience approach and involving international partners including early career researchers and street youth. 2REST aims to explore the experinces of homeless street youth and their resilient reponses to diffculties as they grow up in contexts of stress and vulnerability in African cities. Through secondary data analysis of the Growing up on the Streets qualitative data, the objective is to go beyond individual person-centred responses to stress and understand the multiple systems involved in overcoming difficulties over space and time as young people grow up. The resulting evidence will provide a better understanding of street youth resilience and all the factors involved. The 2REST project further aims to translate these findings and apply the learning to outcomes for policy and practice in order to improve street youth lives. 2REST will build capacity through training and analysis, and create impactful, practical outcomes that can be used in policy development and implementation and street youth engagement. 2REST will deliver a significant evidence base on the nature of street youth multisystemic resilience and the support required from policy and practice linked to the principles of UNGC21, offering tools and applications for improving the lives and opportunities for street young people across Africa and globally and helping street youth to achieve adults lives they value.2REST will engage (senior and early career) academic partners in the UK, South Africa and Uganda, supported by an engaged Advisory Board made up of global government, academic and practitioner partners who are knowledgeable in the field and in their contexts, plus street youth. International collaborations will take place virtually and in person with an international dissemination strategy that will span the Americas, Africa and Europe. By co-creating impact tools and academic conceptual and methodological thinking, 2REST will extend the purpose and use of the primary data set. By applying the analytical lens of multisystemic resilience to the rich secondary data set from Growing up on the Streets, 2REST will provide an evidence base for policymakers and practitioners to help redesign approaches to street children and youth.

非洲许多城市青年生活的现实是日益加剧的不平等和贫困，由于非洲国家青年人数和比例的增加，这一点变得更加切合实际。街头青年仍然隐藏在政策辩论中，因为他们即将成年，生活在脆弱和长期和严重压力的情况下。政策制定者、政府、从业者和学者采取的不同方法往往不能满足街头青年的需要，并可能加剧他们的早熟；而街头青年的应对办法往往表现出一定程度的个人韧性，尽管有负面的投入。街头成长是一个参与性的纵向研究项目，其结果是向英国数据服务机构提交了大量数据集，包括街头青年以慢性和急性压力为特征的日常经历以及他们的弹性反应的报告。(2REST)“街道临时性复原力责任”是一个为期两年的项目，将使用多系统复原力办法分析街头成长的次要数据，并让包括早期职业研究人员和街头青年在内的国际伙伴参与。2REST旨在探索无家可归的街头青年的经历以及他们在非洲城市压力和脆弱的背景下成长过程中对困难的适应能力。通过对街头成长的质量数据进行次级数据分析，目的是超越以个人为中心的对压力的反应，并了解在年轻人成长过程中克服空间和时间上的困难所涉及的多重系统。由此产生的证据将更好地了解街头青年的复原力和所有涉及的因素。2REST项目还旨在将这些调查结果转化为政策和实践成果，以改善街头青年的生活。2REST将通过培训和分析建设能力，并创造可用于政策制定和执行以及街头青年参与的有影响力的实际成果。2REST将提供关于街头青年多系统复原力的性质以及与UNGC21原则相关的政策和实践所需支持的重要证据，提供工具和应用程序，以改善非洲和全球街头青年的生活和机会，并帮助街头青年实现他们所珍视的成人生活。2REST将吸引英国、南非和乌干达的(高级和早期职业)学术合作伙伴，并得到一个积极参与的咨询委员会的支持，咨询委员会由在该领域和各自背景下了解该领域知识的全球政府、学术和从业人员合作伙伴以及街头青年组成。国际合作将通过跨越美洲、非洲和欧洲的国际传播战略进行虚拟和面对面的进行。通过共同创建影响工具以及学术概念和方法思维，2REST将扩大主要数据集的目的和用途。通过将多系统复原力的分析镜头应用于街头成长的丰富次要数据集，2REST将为政策制定者和实践者提供证据基础，帮助重新设计针对街头儿童和青年的方法。
