comments:

Local stakeholders at the labour market and young unemployed people and enterprises as end beneficiaries.

challenges:

The social dialogue is not well functioning. Many employment efforts are project based with too little overall coordination.

success:

There is a demand for skilled workers in many industrial sectors Many young people are well educated just lacking the needed skills

context:

The project was target on employability of youth There are no strong local structures focused on employment involving all stakeholders in place. At the same time there is a mismatch between young people’s education and demands of the market.

description:

Coordination of employment initiatives and demand driven approach Involvement of all stakeholders in fighting unemployment especially among youth has proven important in many countries a lesson learned from the current project proves that when there is no formal and structured set-up at the local level to take up the challenge then it becomes difficult to secure coordination between different initiatives and to meet the demands at the market. The local service providers including vocational training institutions should be an important player in such coordination as they are those to deliver beyond the lifetime of any project.

administrative_issues:

A future project could be focused on establishing an employment policy development and implementation structure at the local level with involvement of all stakeholders.
