Description
The project contributes to make urban areas inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable in order to face the deep causes of migration flows and the effects of climate change in Mali. In particular, the project aims to increase the urban socio-economic inclusion in Municipality 6 of Bamako and the protection of its population, with a focus on vulnerable groups such as youth, women, displaced persons and returning migrants.The project, through the REsources for Sustainable COmpetitiveness (RESCO) methodology of WW-GVC and the experience of CISV in the sector, will favor the development of the production ecosystem by supporting virtuous supply and value chains, identified using multi-actor methodologies, supporting the creation of opportunities and access to employment in micro and small enterprises for GVs (SDG 8, target 8.6), favoring the start up and economic growth of 80 Small and Micro enterprises, activating an assistance desk for business supports. Given the high rate of youth unemployment in Bamako, WW-GVC in collaboration with the APEJ (Agence de Promotion de l'Emploi de la Jeunesse), will increase the technical and professional skills of the GVs in order to increase their ability to access to the labor market, ensuring, on the one hand, individual assistance (personalized support paths, 500 scholarships, technical training and soft skills) and on the other, structural support to 12 Vocational Training Centers (CFP) and will activate a career guidance desk (SDGs 4, target 4.4). The desk will act as a link with youth associations and will be responsible for selecting 500 young scholarship recipients and 2000 young people to be trained in soft skills useful for job search. Youth employment will also be supported through the development of the urban waste collection chain, considered virtuous both from an economic, social and environmental point of view. The intervention will allow the Municipality 6 of Bamako to have a more livable, healthier and better equipped urban environment and prepared to sustainably resist the effects of climate change (CC), helping to improve access to sanitation for all (LVIA, COGEVAD and Hydroaid will support 31 Economic Interest Groups, which carry out door-to-door collection by increasing the coverage of the service, to reach 480,000 people (+ 120,000) and will carry out community hydraulic works (100 wells and 2500 meters of canals drainage) for the improvement of rainwater and wastewater disposal (SDG 11, target 11.6). In order to respond to the most urgent needs of the most vulnerable population (returning migrants and internally displaced persons), WW-GVC will support community and individual protection services that favor, at the territorial level, the implementation of planned and well managed migration policies (SDG 10, target 10.7). The use of the Community Protection Approach (CPA), a methodology conceived and developed by WW-GVC, will allow displaced persons, returning migrants and local authorities of Municipality 6 to acquire greater knowledge and sensitivity towards issues of inclusion and protection. Communities and institutions will be equipped with the necessary tools for an active involvement of citizens in the activation of policies aimed at improving protection through the conception and financing of Community Protection Plans. The project has a duration of 36 months and will be implemented by a Temporary Association of Purpose (ATS) composed of 3 NGOs present in the Malian territory for several years. The ATS will also make use of the support of Hydroaid in order to ensure the technical skills necessary for the implementation of hydraulic interventions in the urban area. In order to guarantee ownership and sustainability of the project, two local institutions are partners of the initiative: the APEJ, involved since the identification phase, will be the indispensable liaison between the CSOs and the public sector in the field of youth employment
