Support to ACI 2: Jobs and skills for youth - Zambia

The ILO Youth Employment project phase 2 for the biennium 2014/2015 with support from Sida will build on the results achieved in phase 1 of the Youth Employment Project. It will aim to finalize the National Action Plan (NAP) on Youth Employment which was developed under the Youth Employment project phase 1 and support its implementation. The NAP is the new national framework to address youth employment in Zambia. It is based on the five policy areas of the 2012 Resolution adopted by the 101st International Labour Conference – Youth Employment Crisis: A Call for Action. The project will provide technical assistance to the Government of Zambia and social partners to review the National Employment and Labour Market Policy (NELMP) to ensure the prioritization of youth employment. Emphasis will be placed on the alignment and synergies between the NAP-YE and the revised NELMP and its Implementation plan.
