(R) Productive Inclusion Opportunities for young women and men

The proposed Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve jobs opportunities of targeted vulnerable groups in selected territories of Tunisia. This objective is to be achieved through an integrated, multisector approach to jobs and economic inclusion of targeted vulnerable segments. For the purpose of this project, economic inclusion is defined as enhanced income generating capacity, through access to more and better jobs. This entails strengthened participation in the labor markets (transitioning from inactivity/unemployment to jobs- either wage employment or self-employment) and increased quality and/or productivity of such participation. The proposed integrated multisector approach refers to interventions addressing the binding constraints in labor supply and demandin an integrated manner, promoting the creation of jobs through an inclusive flexible platform for support to entrepreneurs, businesses and value chains, improving the quality of existing jobs, and facilitate transitions from inactivity/unemployment into jobs. The underpinning strategic vision also involves a shift from a top-down to a more local-context and citizen-oriented approach with accountability for results. Concept completed on 7 October 2016.
