ProjectBoosting Decent Rural Employment through the Implementation of the Integrated Country Approach and Dimitra Clubs - FMM/GLO/122/MUL 2021
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, FAO has implemented a number of projects to bolster decent rural employment (DRE) and to implement Dimitra Clubs (DCs) in many countries, thanks to funding provided by the Flexible Multi Partner Mechanism (FMM). Projects focusing on increasing DRE for youth in the agri food systems of targeted countries have utilized FAO’s Integrated Country Approach (ICA), which includes advocacy and communication activities, the provision of policy and strategy advice, technical support and capacity development, the generation of knowledge and the development of partnerships. Other projects have facilitated the implementation of DCs. These clubs take a bottom up, community driven approach to development by building the capacities of rural populations, particularly women, through the dissemination of information and the exchange of experiences. The goal of the DCs is to amplify the voices of rural women, so that their voices are heard at national and international level. In order to maintain and expand upon the significant results achieved by previous projects, this project was formulated to ensure continued coordination and technical support to DRE and DC activities, to mobilize further resources and to create partnerships for subsequent projects in these areas. -
ProjectCreating More and Better Jobs for Rural Youth - GCP/INT/335/MUL 2024The global youth population (15 to 24 years old) has reached the unprecedented figure of 1.2 billion, with approximately 85 percent living in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean, primarily in rural areas. While this exceptionally high figure represents a significant opportunity for the rejuvenation of agrifood systems, young people continue to turn away from such systems, as a result of factors such as poor access to land and other natural resources, infrastructure, finance, technology, knowledge and support services, a situation compounded by low remuneration. In rural areas, in particular, the transition of youth to decent work is hampered by the lack of productive employment opportunities. Addressing their needs is therefore crucial to harnessing their full contribution to the development of agrifood systems.

ProjectBoosting Decent Employment and Self-Employment Opportunities in Agriculture and Agribusiness for Youth in Africa - GCP/INT/920/MUL 2024
Also available in:
Africa has the world’s youngest population, with more than 600 million people under the age of 24 and more than 750 million under the age of 35. The growing youth population is challenging Africa’s ability to meet the demand for jobs, which has pushed many to migrate out of rural areas and across borders. The agricultural sector in Africa can play a key role in solving the youth employment challenge that threatens stability and growth in many countries across the continent. Against this background, in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) developed the comprehensive Opportunities for Youth in Africa (OYA) joint programme, in response to a dedicated call for accelerating efforts on job creation for African youth, especially through agribusiness and entrepreneurship development. This OYA project was implemented in six pilot countries: Cabo Verde, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Tunisia, and Zambia.
