Skills, Employment, and Empowerment for the Development of Youth in South Sudan (SEED4Youth)

About this project

South Sudan is endowed with vast natural resources and economic potential that has not translated into improved standards of living. This is primarily due to ongoing conflicts which have roots in political contestation for power and are fueled by poverty, high unemployment and the absence of economic opportunities for the predominantly youthful population. SEED4Youth aims to facilitate the transformation of local economies and upliftment in the well-being of vulnerable youth and women in eight target states through improvement in food security and income of 51,000 direct beneficiaries <(>&<)> 3,000 Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) that will be established. It intends to socially and economically empower youth and women through the matching of industry needs and available skills, job creation, and enhancement of trade and business opportunities.
