Youth Empowerment and Integration in Mixed Communities

The project aims to improve livelihood opportunities and strengthen the socio-economic resilience of young migrants, refugees, and Egyptian youth in host communities through improved policy frameworks, employability skills, career prospects and inclusive youth centers. Jointly implementing the project, ILO and UNICEF will use a three-pronged approach that combines skills development and career guidance services at the individual (micro) level, with capacity development of key stakeholders at the institutional (meso) level and policy engagement and awareness raising on the national (macro) level. All activities will be conducted taking the social partners and the tripartite structures into account. Project Inception Phase Objective: The first year (10 months) of the project will be considered as an inception phase. The main objectives of this phase are to better define the project’s scope, develop and evidence-base programme and create an enabling environment for the project’s strategic goals, outcomes, outputs, implementation and set up the M&E framework.
