Partnerships for Youth Employment in the Commonwealth of Independent States

The project, funded by the OAO Lukoil and implemented by the ILO, will seek to improve effectiveness of youth employment initiatives in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, through interventions both at regional and country levels. The overall objective is to improve the capabilities of each country to design, implement and evaluate youth sensitive employment plans and programmes, so as to reduce the number of young women and men who are at risk of social exclusion, and increase the competitiveness and economic growth in the region. It will include knowledge-sharing events both inside and beyond the regions. Innovative regional initiatives will be fostered and the regional element will thus have the potential to serve as a pilot example for future cooperation in other regions. Moreover, by building professional networks on youth employment, inter-regional cooperation will be promoted and opportunities to share research, best practices and address common problems in a joint manner will increase.
