The first is a \u20ac20 million credit component, aimed at \u201censuring the creation of technological assets with high socio-economic impact,\u201d according to the document.<\/p>\n<p>The second component, a \u20ac6.4 million non-repayable fund, will be implemented through awareness, knowledge and skills-building activities targeted at specific groups, aiming to ensure \u201cthe effectiveness of the initiative and the sustainability of the products and services provided through the credit component, as well as the local development impact of the programmes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The IN4JOB initiative will be executed by the Mozambican Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) through the National Directorate of Science and Technology, in coordination with the National Company of Parks, Science and Technology ( ENPCT), the National Employment Institute (INEP), and the National Institute for Small and Medium Enterprises (IPEME).<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration between Italy and Mozambique on youth entrepreneurship reflects a growing trend of international partnerships aimed at fostering economic development in emerging markets. With a focus on innovation and technology, such initiatives are crucial for addressing unemployment and enhancing skills among young people in Mozambique, a country facing significant economic challenges. The IN4JOB program is part of a broader strategy to empower youth and stimulate local economies through entrepreneurship and job creation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know The Italian public bank Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) has committed \u20ac20 million to fund the IN4JOB youth entrepreneurship program in Mozambique.
