Joint Programme on Youth Employment

The joint programme aims at developing an integrated strategy towards addressing the youth employment challenge in Tanzania which manifests itself into unemployment, underemployment, poor employment conditions and lack of an integrated approach. Towards this end, the joint programme focuses on five high impact priority areas, namely: (a) Sustainable enterprise development; (b) Decent work for youth; (c) Enhancing agriculture productivity; (d) Skills development and (e) Building labour market information systems. An important and unique value of the UN joint programme on youth employment is the number and diversified strengths of the participating UN agencies allowing a broad but integrated approach to the youth employment challenge.
