Project Summary

According to statistics and forecasts, the number of young people in Africa is expected to double in 2050 to reach 1 billion people under 18 years of age. The number of young people in Africa will continue to increase over the next century. Fewer than a quarter of the more than 350 million young Africans entering the labor market by 2035 will find a job and receive a formal salary. The number of unqualified young people has increased rapidly with each passing year.In this context, we are focusing the current project on capacity transfer in specific areas, using modern technologies and approaches to work, in particular the field of youth work, youth entrepreneurship and initiative, the development of competencies for the realization and management of a business company.Objectives:• Improving the quality of youth work in the partner organization;• Optimizing and documenting youth work at local level;• Creating a capacity and program to supplement the formal education system and the suitability of young people for the labor market;• Creating and developing a program for non-formal learning and acquiring competencies for personal development and realization of youth and companies at the local level in the field of environmental entrepreneurship;• Implementing standards for high quality training for youth workers and the use of ICTs and digital technologies.In this project, the main innovative elements are:• Transferring European experience and capacity in the management of youth activities – through innovative software and organizational development following the latest developments in the field of business and youth work. Practical development and development of the organization to maintain the high-level training program in the future• Combining and creating up-to-date research-based training materials, following innovative work methods proven with good practice awards and thousands of highly trained professionals and young people;• Implementation of innovative software for working with the program in hubs for youth work at the local level, combined with practical work. The software enables fast and high-quality access to a database, creation of a portfolio of completed youth training and follow-up of mentoring by youth workers;• Mobility and exchange of experience in a real environment in Europe, meeting with young people, eco-entrepreneurs, bio-farmers, processors, etc. Visits to youth centers will deepen and develop the capacity of participants.• Reaching disadvantaged and marginalized youth who do not have access to the labor market, education or training.The uniqueness of Future Friendly Africa’s employment program lies in its highly innovative and sustainable model, which enables CASCUP to leverage local resources to empower young people and to transfer to more organizations, support companies and transfers in more Senegal regions and countries in Sub-Sahara Africa.
