Application Deadline: 11 May2011

Background:

Furthermore, some of those absorbed in the labour market have jobs that do not match their qualifications and personal development goals.

In view of these facts, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports with financial support from UNDP has put some measures in place to contribute to the desired efforts of directing the potential of the youth by developing and rolling out a youth training initiative to empower the youth and catalyze competitive growth of trade by enhancing employment and injecting a new breed of productive labour force in the country’s economy in micro and small enterprises and reduce the propensity of the youth to engage in violence and crime.
