Description
The initiative contributes to ensuring inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full employment and decent work for all. The project promotes the decent employment, entrepreneurship, skills acquisition of young people between the ages of 15 and 24, particularly young women and young people in vulnerable situations, in the cities of Mbalmayo, Bafoussam and Garoua. The intervention, within 36 months, proposes: 1. solutions for skills mismatch, providing 800 boys and girls excluded from the school system with recognized technical, vocational, IT and entrepreneurial skills which are matched to existing job opportunities by strengthening and diversifying the training offer and the testing of a certification system for formal, informal and non-formal skills; 2. strategies to promote employment, enabling 1,890 young men and women to obtain more employment opportunities, and more accessible ones, thanks to various services to promote orientation, the matching of job supply and demand, assisted employment tools and technical and financial support to start, formalize, optimize or manage a sustainable small enterprise; 3. protection and social promotion, enabling 2,690 boys and girls to make their voices heard and be represented, to access the social protection system and to claim their right to decent work and the opportunity to participate in the economic and social development of the cities where they live. COE (leading partner) is in a Temporary Scope Association with ARCS - Culture Solidali to maximise the impact of the intervention through the capitalization of best practices tested in the Cameroonian context. COE and ARCS interface with COE CAM, a Cameroonian association rooted in the areas of intervention and experienced in initiatives aimed at young and vulnerable people, and with international experts from Ingegneria Senza Frontiere - Milano, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and Comune di Milano, who will contribute to the intervention in their respective fields of expertise. Beyond the immediate results for the beneficiaries, the impact is estimated according to the contribution of the intervention to lasting, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full employment, and decent work for all. In addition to increasing the well-being of the boys and girls involved in the project and that of their families, the intervention proposes scalable and replicable processes, systems and services and promotes a more equitable and inclusive society in which all boys and girls, including the most vulnerable ones, are aware that they can aspire to decent work, fulfill their aspirations, and contribute to the sustainable development of their country.
