Project

Boosting 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.

This brief presents the lessons learned in the domain of youth financial inclusion emerging from the implementation of the project “Integrated Country Approach (ICA) for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agrifood system”. The ICA project, funded primarily by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), is currently being implemented (for the 2019-2023 period), by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in Guatemala, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, and Uganda. The brief illustrates a range of experiences and models proposed by the ICA project and its partners to facilitate youth access to formal financial services. It presents key lessons derived from the project’s experience, including the importance of enhancing youth financial literacy and their awareness of the available offer of financial services, as well as the need to introduce innovations aimed at adapting the offer of local financial services to youth’s specific needs.
