Pathways for Sustainable Employment for Women and Youth in Ethiopia (PASEWAY)

PASEWAY project aims to contribute for an increasing formal youth employment and decent work in Addis Ababa. It has two main objectives. On the one hand, it strives to ensure disadvantaged young people successfully pursue gainful employment or self-employment. On the other hand, it works to strengthen the capacities of local partners in implementing projects to promote youth employment and entrepreneurship among young people in Ethiopia. The project focuses both on improving the skills and learning environment for young people (especially women) in line with their needs and on improving cooperation with employers and the private sector concerning the recruitment of young people (especially young women). The young people are also encouraged to influence the political discourse on youth employment and thus have a chance to have a positive impact in the long-term on existing rights.
