challenges:

The limited availability of youth, particularly university undergraduates who were preoccupied with academic assignments is a challenge, however, the support of the university with its resources will be overcoming such challenges

success:

Universities are trustworthy places for youth students and when a training opportunity is published through university channels, it will attract many students from different perspectives to utilize such opportunity as a preparatory step to enter the labour market either seeking a job or transforming the potential ideas into businesses.

context:

Both Banha and Menoufia universities were approached by different service providers at different levels through formal (Protocols) and informal communication channels (Youth groups in different universities). Universities participated by mobilizing youth to attend training workshops on microprojects management, and green business management, and through formal participation in the community events where youth expressed and pitched their ideas

description:

The cooperation with universities and the use of university venues increased the credibility of the training and increased the project’s outreach.

administrative_issues:

The high turnover rate in the ILO project team made the linkages among different service providers lost and sometimes doubled the efforts which resulted in overlapped results
