Description
Poverty, lack of basic necessities and the search for better life opportunities are among the main reasons why unaccompanied children, adolescents and their families leave Ethiopia. The journey brings with it hopes and dreams. However, when the departure and migration experience does not bring the desired results, people (especially children and youth) return home, with serious psychological, social and economic consequences, primarily involving the non-exercise of fundamental rights and significantly compromising physical and psychological health. Consistent with the strategy contained within OSS 10 to reduce inequalities of and between nations, the initiative contributes to reducing social and economic inequalities for children and youth, including returnees (returnees) through an intervention strategy that aims to ensure a strengthened protection system and to socially and economically include unaccompanied and returned migrant children (under 25 years), as well as adolescents and youth (15-24 years) who are at risk of engaging in unsafe migration; not excluding parents/caregivers and adult members of communities and governmental bodies. In line with target 10.2, the project will therefore contribute to enhancing and promoting the social, economic and political inclusion of the aforementioned individuals, regardless of age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, economic status. At the end of the 36-month initiative, which is structured on three interconnected levels, vulnerable and returned children and youth will have strengthened their knowledge of protection services and will have access to specific education and reintegration services based on their individual needs; vulnerable youth (15-24 years), including returnees, will have access to relevant economic opportunities/in line with the local labour market; and finally, governmental, civil society and community structures will be able to ensure integrated protection services. In the light of these axes of intervention, the thematic priorities and the AICS strategic objectives of this Call, the Initiative involves not only OSS 10, but also the following targets and related OSSs: 4.4, 4.5, 8.3, 8.6. Moreover, the intervention strategy was built on the basis of best practices and lessons learned from the Emergency Initiative AID 11548, financed by the Italian Cooperation and enlarging the intervention area in order to ensure continuity and development (woredas of Gerawa, Bedeno, Goleoda, Deder, Goro Gutu in the Eastern Hararge and Administrative District of Dire Dawa City). Indeed, STC together with its partners CeSPI and PAD, will work in synergy with local stakeholders to strengthen protection systems and services to ensure sustainable outcomes of ongoing initiatives and develop local capacities to improve the capacity to respond to the changing needs of migrant children and youth, including the creation of employment opportunities for targeted youth. Save the Children will undertake a number of specific actions aimed at reducing early school leaving, strengthening employability skills, providing employment opportunities and ensuring protection and psychosocial support for young returnees and those at risk of unsafe migration. Ultimately, the project will contribute both to addressing the root causes of unsafe migration and to improving assistance, services and opportunities for those involved in migration at different levels. The ultimate aim will be to facilitate the phasing out of our direct engagement and to support local communities and government agencies to build capacity to take over the management and control of services, ensuring quality standards and resources are in place.
