Background:

The main objective of YPP is to foster and transform talent and excellence of adolescents and

Project Title: Empower Youth for Work


Empower Youth for Work promotes a positive enabling environment for youth, especially young
women, to thrive, achieve their potential and contribute to their community. The program focuses
on communities hardest hit by climate change.
There will be better economic prospects through improvements in the job market, better support
and opportunities for youth entrepreneurs; access to better training that enables them to benefit
from these opportunities, including soft, technical and vocational training; an improved social
and political enabling environment that recognizes the contribution youth can make to society and
the economy. We propose to launch an integrated, innovative program collaborating with
stakeholders in private, public and civil society sectors to create new, improved, sustainable
models for youth inclusion in employment, training, youth group support, business development
services and access to finance; community and mass media campaign activities designed to change
norms and policies that hinder opportunities for youth.
