Background of the project
Plan International, Ethiopian Centre for Development and Selam Children’s Village are implementing “Pathways for Sustainable Employment to Women and Youth in Ethiopia” project, which aims at contributing to increasing formal youth employment and decent work in Addis Ababa.
Youth unemployment is one of the most critical challenges for sustainable development in Africa. Empowering young people to gain employment is considered a key strategy for achieving Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2018, Ethiopia had the highest rate of youth unemployment in Sub-Saharan Africa with a figure of 27%, compared to an average of 11.2% (ILO, 2017).
