Description

The “JOBS 4E Project: Job Opportunities and Benefits for Everybody - Professional training and job placement for women and young people with disabilities in Cameroon” is set in a rural area in the far north of Cameroon, where 30% of young people aged 15-24 have not access to schooling, and only 13.4% have access to professional training. The project aims to improve and expand the professional training courses of the local partner FBM, also including a career orientation and startup path at the end of the training (thanks to the partner ISF-MI), thereby helping 1,190 young people (15-24) to find a job. The project was outlined and defined together with partners and stakeholders through a bottom-up participatory process. The proposal came from the local partner, and the feasibility study was conducted through a series of meetings and questionnaires submitted to local stakeholders. The general objective of the intervention, “Ensuring full and productive employment and decent work for women, men, and people with disabilities in Cameroon,” relates to SDG 8, particularly targets 8.3 and 8.6.1, referencing indicators 8.5.2. The specific objective of the intervention, “Improving access to the labor market and professional training for young people, women, and people with disabilities in the Far North of Cameroon,” relates to SDGs 8 and 4, particularly indicators 8.3.1 and 4.3.1. Allegato 2_Modello Documento Unico di Progetto_DUP_Bando Promossi 2023 10 The expected results are twofold. The first expected result, “The Bethlehem Foundation improves the quality and coverage of the services offered,” relates to the OECD-DAC sector 113 – 11330 – Vocational Training and SDG 4.4, with selected indicators “Number of beneficiaries receiving certification after successfully completing a professional training program designed/implemented with project support,” and SDG 4.4.1. The second expected result, “The local economy is revitalized thanks to direct support to micro-enterprises and young people in the area,” relates to the OECD-DAC sector 160 – 16020 - Job Creation, with selected indicators: “Number of employers offering internships with project support disaggregated by company size, economic sector” and “Percentage of beneficiaries successfully completing internships supported by the project, disaggregated by gender, age, and disability status.” Particular attention in this project is given to the multidimensional approach suggested by AICS in its strategic documents: "Linee guida sulla parità di genere e sull'empowerment delle donne e delle ragazze (2020-2024)" and "Linee guida per l'integrazione delle persone con disabilità e l'inclusione sociale nei progetti di aiuto 2018 e la programmazione strategica di AICS per il 2024”. Promoting the access to job market and vocational training for women, men and people with disabilities in the North of Camerun, we will contribute to the inclusive economic growth, gender equity and quality education. Therefore, the project pays specific attention to female empowerment, childhood attention, and a specific focus on disability (enhanced by the expertise of partner NHI) as cross-cutting themes for both results. As suggested by the guidelines, a digital transformation, solar panels and capacity-building interventions of the local partner and the center where the intervention will take place is also included to ensure better effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed intervention and the continuity of the intervention even after the project ends read more close
