The four-year project funded by the Swedish government is to be implemented by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO. A labor market responsive program, it aims to foster youth employment and contribute to peace efforts in the country.<\/p>\n

Hubert Gijzen, the Director of UNESCO\u2019s regional office in East Africa says the project targets 25, 000 people across the country including youth, women and girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project we are launching today on strengthen TVET [Technical and Vocational Education and Training] in South Sudan aims to foster youth employment and contribute to peace, resilience and nation building through labor market responsive TVET,\u201d said the Director of UNESCO\u2019s regional office, Hubert Gijzen during the launch of the project in Juba.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project will reach out to 25,000 people including 13,000 youth of which 50% are women and girls. It will also reach out to 2,000 teachers.<\/p>\n
