LR: Youth, Employment, Skills Project

The development objective of the Youth, Employment, and Skills Project is to expand access of poor and young Liberians to temporary employment programs and to improve youth employability, in support of the Government of Liberia's response to the employment crisis. There are two components to the project. The first component of the project is community works. This component will focus on bridging the temporary unemployment gap created by the global financial crisis and will build on an ongoing successful project financed by the World Bank and implemented by the Liberia Agency for Community Empowerment (LACE). It will finance community-based public works that will create temporary employment and income opportunities for the poor and youth in particular. This component will also support government capacity building on monitoring and supervision in the area of temporary employment and finance an assessment of the impact of the program. The second component of the project is employment through skills training. This component will finance formal and informal skills training programs with the purpose of improving employability and employment and will support institutional development for Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) especially for certification, policy development, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) project management, and impact assessment.
