CONSULTANT FOR DOCUMENTATION OF ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOOD & EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PROJECT (ALEO)

Background:

Despite the relative peace and reconstruction being witnessed in Puntland, the social and economic development of the region is constrained by an enormous number of challenges ranging from, illiterate and unskilled personnel, high rates of youth unemployment, drug abuse, depression and hopelessness among the youth. This situation threatens the already fragile peace, security and democracy as more disenfranchised youth and ex-combatants may most likely revert to violence, illegal means of livelihood earning, and crime lured by warlords as the main coping strategy for survival.

In responding to the needs of the youths that have lost the opportunity of formal education, Save the children in Puntland with support from DANIDA is implementing a project that aims to contribute to increasing access to sustainable, resilient and alternative livelihoods for 2500 disadvantaged youth in Puntland through provision of technical vocational educational training (TVET) linked to employment advisory services. .
