Skills for Employment and Productivity in Low-Income Countries

The project comprises three components: 1) The provision of, and increased access to, training in marginal parts of Mozambique will be used as pilot communities. In doing so, this activity directly increases to the prospect of decent work by creating opportunities for local, productive livelihoods in remote areas of high growth in extractive industries; 2) The objective of boosting the productivity and skills of youth is sought in order to improve the overall employability of Nepalese youth. In doing so, this objective helps to increase the youth’s contribution to the workforce and is aligned with the Governments’ emphasis on decreasing youth unemployment 3) An increased level of knowledge-sharing at various levels pertaining to skills for employment. Greater knowledge sharing between LICs and G20 Members will facilitate dialogue and understanding at levels, allowing institutional memory and capacity to be established so that knowledge may be disseminated knowledge within countries, among international agencies, and between the private and public sectors.
