This project document outlines UNIDOs proposed approach to Germanys Special Initiative on Training and Job Creation. Discussions between the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and UNIDO highlighted the synergies between the Special Initiative and UNIDOs Program for Co untry Partnership (PCP). Ethiopia and Senegal were identified as countries of interest, with a special emphasis on agribusiness value chains (eg. fruits, nuts and cereals including cashew, mango, avocado etc.). The UNIDO project aims to: i) create more and better jobs, ii) provide training and skills development and iii) stimulate private sector investment. In Ethiopia, it will focus on the Integrated Agro-industrial Parks (IAIPs) and Rural Transformation Centres (RTC) being piloted, while in Senegal, the project interventions are centred on the Southern Agro-poles and the Industrial Park in Diamniadio in order to address unemployment, skills development challenges for youth and women, technology transfer and investment for MSMEs. |
