مشاركة الشباب

  • In Kenya, young people were engaged in the mechanical removal and value addition of Prosopis, receiving training in skills like chainsaw operation.
  • EIIP can target young people when linked to TVET courses. In both Ethiopia and Kenya, EIIP was integrated with efforts to expand TVET in refugee-hosting areas. A cobblestone production training course offered through a public TVET centre at county level specifically targeted young people. Students on the course got to participate in EIIP and put their learning into practice. In Iraq, EIIP was used to improve the physical infrastructure of TVET centres poriving TVET students  with the opportunity to apply their skills in practice in solar panel installation, painting, plastering, gardening and masonry.
  • In Iraq, EIIP work rehabilitated the Zaha Hadid Youth Centre in Ninawa. The physical reconstruction was linked with institutional capacity building (in collaboration with UNICEF) to enable the rollout of training programmes for youth.
  • In Uganda the construction of multi-purpose communice centres centers helped link youth with labour markets and business opportunities. The facilities, including the TVET hall, computer room, and sports ground, hosted activities such as youth film projects, graduation ceremonies, and social innovation boot camps.

إدراج النوع الاجتماعي والإعاقة

  • An Employment-Intensive Investment Programmes (EIIP) approach was used to ensure specific attention was paid to increasing the participation of women in areas traditionally dominated by men, such as construction work. In Iraq, the ILO collaborated with the Women Empowerment Unit at the Directorate of Youth and Sports in Nineveh to rehabilitate the Zaha Hadid Youth Centre. The design and facilities of the centre were developed in consultation with the Unit to help ensure  they met the needs of young women and persons with disabilities in the area.

Ethiopia

The ILO, UNICEF, and UNHCR jointly established and launched a Youth Network Committee (YNC). The 13-member YNC consists of refugee, internally displaced and host community youth, as well as youth leaders and youth representatives from government institutions, and serves as a formal advisory group for the PROSPECTS programme. The YNC members meet quarterly to review progress and provide feedback on programme activities. Additionally, the ILO, UNHCR, and UNICEF facilitated a Youth Leadership Academy for YNC members to build their skills in areas like gender and disability inclusion, rights at work and meaningful youth engagement, as well as soft skills such as "communication, leadership and teamwork". Ethiopia also tailored and adapted the Work Wise Youth guide in collaboration with the Confederation of Ethiopian Trade Unions. Along with Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, and Sudan, young leaders from Ethiopia also benefited from a six-month training programme launched by the ILO, UNICEF, and UNHCR in July 2022.

العراق

In Iraq, the global Work Wise Youth guide was contextualised through extensive consultations with young people, ILO constituents, universities and civil society organisations. This process included 177 young people representing refugees, IDPs and host communities and 38 participants representing organisations and institutions such as the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Department of Labour and Social Affairs, Ministry of Higher Education, employer’s and worker’s organizations and universities.

كينيا

Kenya is one of the countries where the Work Wise Youth guide has garnered further attention and is being adapted in collaboration with the Central Organization of Trade Unions - Kenya (COTU-K). PROSPECTS’ collaboration with COTU-K produced a workshop to support the development of a youth engagement plan for the organization’s National Youth Committee. Along with Ethiopia, Uganda, South Sudan, and Sudan, young leaders from Kenya also benefited from a six-month training programme launched by the ILO, UNICEF, and UNHCR in July 2022.

Sudan

استفاد 63 شابًا وشابة من القادة الطموحين في إثيوبيا وأوغندا وكينيا وجنوب السودان والسودان من برنامج تدريبي مدته ستة أشهر أطلقته المنظمات الثلاث في يوليو 2022. وكان الهدف من البرنامج تزويد الشباب من اللاجئين والمجتمعات المضيفة بالمعرفة والمهارات الشخصية اللازمة للمشاركة الفعّالة وقيادة التغيير في مجتمعاتهم وخارجها. وقد قادت منظمة العمل الدولية ويسّرت جلستين حول تقنيات ومهارات البحث عن عمل، وأخرى حول ريادة الأعمال، بالاستناد إلى المنهجيات التي نوقشت في فصول نوادي البحث عن عمل وخدمات تطوير الأعمال.

أوغندا

A total of 63 young (aspiring) leaders in Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan and Sudan benefited from a six-month training programme launched by the three organizations in July 2022. The objective was to equip refugee and host community young people with knowledge and soft skills to participate effectively and lead change in their communities and beyond. The ILO led and facilitated a session on job-search techniques and skills and another on entrepreneurship, drawing on methodologies discussed in the chapters on Job Search Clubs and business development services. 

Guidelines - Youth engagement

Submitted by iloadmin on

إشراك الشباب كشركاء

  • لا ينبغي النظر إلى الشباب كمجرد متلقين للخدمات، بل كشركاء في تصميم البرامج وتقديمها. ويمكن أن يشمل ذلك أدوارًا مثل مُيسّري نوادي البحث عن وظائف، ومراقبي مواقع برنامج التدخل المبكر في التعليم، وأعضاء لجان توجيه البرامج.

تطوير هياكل لإشراك الشباب

  • Create formal structures that allow young people to feed into programme design and implementation. Examples include a Youth Workstream at the global level and a Youth Network Committee (YNC) at the country level.

تكييف التدريب وبناء القدرات

  • Offer training programmes to equip young people with the knowledge and skills they need to participate effectively and lead change in their communities. The ILO, UNHCR and UNICEF put together and launched a Youth Leadership Academy to build the capacities of Youth Network Committee members in Ethiopia to carry out their role as advisers effectively and guide the implementation of programming. The Academy covered such topics as gender and disability inclusion, rights at work and meaningful youth engagement, while also focusing on strengthening members’ soft skills, such as communication, leadership and teamwork.
  • The Work Wise Youth: A Guide to Youth Rights at Work updated and expanded on the 2015 manual Rights @ Work 4 Youth: Decent Jobs for Young People. The guide shed light on young people’s rights at work, including regarding wages, working time, occupational safety and health, prevention of violence and harassment in the world of work, gender equality and non-discrimination, and access to social security. The consultative process that informed the development of the guide involved dialogue with more than 70 stakeholders, including youth representatives and young refugee advocates.

Promote collaboration among agencies

  • Joint interventions and events that bring together the expertise and resources of different agencies can amplify impact. For example, the Youth Leadership Academy was a joint initiative of the ILO, UNHCR and UNICEF. 

Amplify young people’s voices

  • Amplify young people’s voices through local, national, regional, and global policy advocacy. This can be done through participation in global forums. Working together with the Government of the Netherlands, UNICEF and UNHCR, the PROSPECTS team used key global forums like the ECOSOC Youth Forum, Global Refugee Forum and the Summit of the Future to advocate for more investments in education, training and decent jobs for forcibly displaced youth, and greater funding for and partnerships with refugee youth-led organizations (RYLOs). This included partnership with RYLOs such as the Global Refugee Youth Network.
