comments:

" The Bridge project will incorporate key lessons learned from the livelihoods experience in Nepal in experiences going forward and into the design of IO5 in the other countries. More specifically i) A clear eligibility and selection criteria will be developed in consultation with the US Department of Labor ii) the project implemented a post-training strategy in Nepal (and one will also be developed for Niger) which included soft-skills training, Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) package, relevant tools/equipment/resources for each trade. The recommendation to employers and unions are not directed to the ILO so the project will not specifically address these aspects of the recommendation."
