About this project
M. Soko from Youth Partnership for Peace and Development is responsible for this project
Project Summary:
Youth Partnership for Peace and Development want to continue to improve access to non-formal education through the provision of vocational skills training for vulnerable youth who are mainly war-affected victims, teenage mothers and former combatants. This will increase access to sustainable livelihoods, reduce youth unemployment, violence and promote self-reliance and sustainable peace in the country. It will benefit 40 illiterate, war-affected, drop-outs and ex-combatants youth within the age limits of 15 and 30 years and will last for a year. Beneficiaries will be trained in dressmaking and textiles design inclusive gara-tye dye, entrepreneurship, basic measurement and calculation. Tutors will be employed for the project duration especially for the tailoring and Gara-tye-dye. Trainees will be certified and given sowing machines and other materials/equipment as a start-up kits that will assist them in setting up their own cooperatives. Regular and periodic monitoring will form part of this project.
Project Goal:
The project’s goal is to address the acute poverty and unemployment faced by young women and men by proving supports through practical and vocational skills training and start-up facilities to 40 beneficiaries a year that will enable them to be employed within a year-long months period.
Problem Analysis:
Sierra Leone’s social fabric has been torn apart by decade-long war, with absolute decline of youth into fields of education and training, drastically leading to unemployment and social mayhem. Today, many young girls are out in the street fending for daily survival via prostitution, whereas young men are also found abusing drugs andarmed robbery .
Although the war has ended, yet some structural problems still exist and have the potential to undermine the stability of the state and livelihoods of the poor. One category of people affected is youth; they were on sides of the conflicts as both perpetrators and victims. Since the war ended, many organizations have been involved in youth development with strategies revolving around providing policy needs. However, addressing the practical and empowerment needs is still a task ahead which YPPD wants to actualize through its sustainable youth livelihood and empowerment (StYLE) program.
