Egypt is facing an unprecedented
'youth bulge' with approximately 60 percent of the
population below the age of 30 and more unemployed youth
being added every year to the labor force. However, the
current youth bulge has not been fully seized as an
opportunity for the country's development. Rather, it
has resulted in numerous challenges, namely resource
constraints to accessing education and employment
opportunities for younger generations. As a result, such
hardships are eroding the quality of life for families who
are vulnerable to the deteriorating poverty situation and
uneven growth distribution. Overall, the Egypt job readiness
and job placement for marginalized youth project will create
a strong impetus for youth entrepreneurship and job creation
among marginalized youth and will reduce the risk of
emigration to cities and abroad. The integrated monitoring
and evaluation mechanisms in the design of the project will
allow for a better understanding of the pros and cons of
this approach throughout implementation, while providing a
solid ground for post-project evaluation and potential for
nation-wide replication. |
