Skills for Productivity and Employment

In the three year time frame, the project will enhance youth employability and contribute to meeting the Government’s objectives to reduce youth unemployment as well as improve productivity and quality of young people in the work force. This work will build up national capacity to improve the outreach of services to link quality training to better youth employment outcomes in keeping with the commitment of the Saint Petersburg Development Outlook priorities on HRD. The project will contribute to the delivery of the ILO mandate to Nepal constituents within the Decent Work Country Programme (2013-17), agreed outcome (NPL 127) that “vulnerable groups, especially young men and women, have improved access to employment services and to productive employment and income opportunities.”
