1. The way to strengthen the partnership between United Nations
and African community in advancing youth employment by
Crafts and Vocational Center for sustainable development
The fact is that, According to the theory of Humble Approach to Development, it is
appropriate for government to ensure their citizen’s active participation I formulating and
Implementing projects of which they are supposed to be the beneficiaries.
Partnership for more and better jobs for young people is very important. Technical support for the
formulations and implementation of coherent national employment, vocational training and
investment polices. Unemployment cause crime and affect economic of country.
Unemployment is not a disease that can be cured rather; it is a complex problem for which there
is no one cause or cure. I prime Bright akinola Presidents of African Youth, believe deeply that it
our collaborative responsibility of both across government agencies and out to non- governmental
entities to act to end unemployment.
Unemployment is not problem of one country or another but is global issues.
Instead there are a range of biological, cultural, economic, social and psychological influencing
factor most unemployment however can be prevented.
Though United Nation-African partnership for economic opportunity, by putting hands together to
Support New youths generation Goals (NYGG).
Focus On Two Main Areas.
· Economic, social and environmental development: by entrepreneurship, business support
services.
Access to educational tools and building human capacity to equip people for employment
opportunities.
Entrepreneurship is the active process of recognizing an economic demand in an economy and
supplying the factors of production (Land, Labour and Capital) to satisfy the demand usually to
generate a profit.
Unemployment Combined with slow economic growth in the formal sector have forced a large
part of the developing world’s population into self-employment and informal activities.
2. But this is not necessarily negative, entrepreneurship contribute significant to economic growth
social stability and equity. The sector is one of the most important vehicle through which low-
income people can escape unemployment and with limited skills and education to complete for
formal sector jobs, these men and women find economic opportunities in entrepreneurship
business owner and employees. Over the long run, a nation’s greatest asset is human capital.
Human Capital does not simply materialize, nor can it be conveniently purchased. It must be
cultivated over the long term. Human capital is not a commodity, but rather a distillation of our
deepest. How is human capital generated? through employment, education and intellectual
growth of our children.
Urban without development affect economic growth of Countries in development common in sub-
Sahara African. It is also characterized by rapid urban growth in the face of economic stagnation
poor Agricultural performance, rising unemployment, financially weak municipalities, poor
governance.
I prince Bright Akinola President of African youth like to organized the African youth international

3. The Innovation in promoting young employment and creating opportunities for youth in the
workplace.
Promoting young people for employment is one way to play a significant part in economic growth,
a model of sustainable and development.
Before anything let us go into labour in an economy the demand for labour in an economy is
derived from the demand for goods and services. As such, if the demand for goods and services
in the economy increasing, the demand for labour will increase, increasing employment and
wages.
Monetary policy and fiscal policy can both be used to increase short term growth in the economy,
increasing the demand labour and decreasing unemployment.
Advocates of supply side policies believe that polices can solve this by making the laobur market
more flexible. These include removing the minimum wage and reducing the power of unions.
Supply-Siders argue the reforms increase long-term growth this increased supply of goods and
services requires more workers, increasing employment. It is argued that supply side policies
which include cutting taxes on business and reducing regulation create jobs and reduce
unemployment.
Other Supply- Side polices include education to make workers more attractive to employed
workers this year 2012, towards the goals of the African youth Organization (AYO) formally
adopted youth enterprise with innovation in African (YEWIA) as one of our five fundamental
goals in support of sustainable development.
We Plan to include innovations in promoting youth employment and creating opportunities for
youth in working place.
In African Countries around the world, and we expect to maintain this commitment.
Youth Enterprise with innovation in African (YEWIA) is actually a business plan competition
aimed at jobs creating by encourage and support entrepreneurship youth in African to develop
and execute business ideas.
African Continents regarded as the third would countries and popularly known as developing
continents suffered a lot of setbacks companied to the fact rate at which the other continent
develops.
The set-back ranges from Economic limitations, technological cum handicap corruption
emanating from the self styled leaders to cultural, social, political and ethical calamities that has
engulfed the enter Naturally endowed talents which are now destroying every facts of African.
4. The youth under this forum has decided to rise to the against the affonementied problems to seek
a lasting solutions with their vigorous and un relevant less efforts towards destroying this
problems.
The first major step towards this action is the general orientation of African, innovating the
mystery surrounding these problem which is believed could be solved amicably with through their
(the youth) collective cooperation, involvements and dedication.
African youth must be made to known the extent at which their future development are in every
angle of human existence are mortgaged and the possible way forwards. It is our collection
responsibility and must be judiciously pursued to achieve a lasting success.
The following are the suggested steps that must be taken to ameliorate the problems facing the
continents.
1. CREATION OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES: Generally the creation of employment
opportunities for the youth unavoidably is a global problem that must be solved. The youth may
not be able to attain the weapon to destroy this ugly monster called employment if they are not
empowered skillfully and financially. This can be carefully implemented through the invitation of
all the unemployed youth in an African country communities if possible local govt. areas.
The statistic would be taken by accredited monitoring group set up by the coordinator of this
project. Each African youth educational background would be known and written down in files.
Their areas of interest would be noted, their contact addresses/ Telephone number would be
taken, Age of Marital status noted amongst other Account the above statistic would be gathered
to ensure a litchi- free classification s and assessment.
Further more: the organizer are to prepare / appoint and employ professionals locally or
internationally to ensure that crafts and vocational centers are established at various center to
undertake the training of the youth in all areas of the chosen careers, the available crafts could
include tailoring & fashion-designing, barbing , hospitality concerns, vulcanizing, computing
education, mechanical and electrical workshops, farming etc.
Moreover, As soon as the training commences, the coordination would make sure that either
small-scale or large scale industries are built with all the necessary machineries needed to
absolve the skilful youth. Production would follow accordingly with the creation of available
market to consume the products/goods produced at moderate/pockets-for decently price.
A large Accounting section would be set up for proper and transparent accountability of all the
5. funds need and plunging back white the profit mange are taken care of accordingly.
Proper monitoring of all the activities by the coordination through a special committee would be
set up to make sum that it is a reality.
A solid security outfit would be established the purchase and leasing of adequate land space from
the landowners to accommodate the project at the chosen sites which is accessible to the youth
involved these steps mentioned would eradicated unemployment and put smiles on the entire
African countries
Welfare packages would also be provided for their relaxation and arouse their interest.
YOUTH BASIC NEEDS
In African the employment methodology is implemented through youth enterprise center: clusters
of African countries where youth are mobilized to create opportunities for youth employment in
the work place and innovations in promoting youth employment and run their own programs to
meet basic needs after several phases over a year’s period. Youth in all African countries will
pound of good job and benefit from economic and social development.
The employment project will mobilized to all countries in African.
The youth enterprise center strategy is intergraded and holistic. It achieves synergy among
programes in education training academy, young business leaders, creating opportunity for youth
employment and build community spirit with momentum of accomplishment involving entire
population it is economically sustainable. The employment resources for African, Particularly the
poorest countries of sub-Sahara African, so that the youth do not currently have effective access
to employment income generation are built in to the strategy from start. The funds can help young
people who have the creative ability.
Youth can participate in the social economic transformation of the countries in African this time
around.
The youth enterprises center strategy is environmentally sustainable young people at our youth
enterprise center learn composting and environmentally sound irrigation technologies such as
drip irrigation.

Principles
The five principles listed below have been developed through our work to end unemployment we
challenge ourselves to ensure that each of our strategies builds on these principles.
(1) Human Dignity: Our inherent nature is creative resourceful, responsible and productive.
We must not treat people living in conditions of unemployment as beneficiaries, which can crush
dignity but rather as they resource for ending unemployment.
(2) Gender Equality: Youth major responsibility for meeting basic needs freedom of
action and voice in decision making to fulfill that responsibility. An essential part of ending
unemployment must be to cause society wide change towards gender equality.
(3) Empowerment: in the face of social suppressions, focused and sustained action is
required to awaken youth to the possibility of employment to build confidence, and to organize
communities to take charge o f their own development.
(4) Leverage: Ending Unemployment requires action that catalyzes large-scale systemic
change we must regularly step back assess our impact with in the evolving social/ political/
economic environment and launch the highest leverage actions we can to meet this challenge.
(5) Transformative leadership: ending unemployment requires a new kind of leadership
not top-sown, authority based leadership, but leadership that awakens people to their own power
leadership “with” people rather than leadership “Over” people.
Impact Assessment
The employment project (TEP) is committed to providing its stakeholders with timely, object and
accurate data on the impact of it strategies our impact assessment program is designed.
1. To support innovations in promoting youth employment and creating opportunities for
youth in the workplace.
2. To enable youth in countries of African and Partner organization to continuously improved
our programs.
7. 3. To engage in advocacy work with policymakers and other through leaders to help
persuade them that our bottom up gender-focused approach is deserving of wider adoption in the
development field.
Our impact Assessment program is consistent with our program methodology, to empower youth
living in condition of unemployment to be the agents of their own development.
Strengthening the skills needed for them to participate n actively monitoring their progress is an
integral component of our programs.
Methodology
The employment project works in partnership with young people in African to develop effective
bottom-up strategies. We have discovered three critical elements that, when combined, empower
people to make rapid in overcoming unemployment.
Mobilizing youth at the highest level rage actions we can to meet this challenge
Empowering youth as key agents, and
Forging partnerships with countries of African.
The employment project’s approach is different from the conventional top-down planning used by
many development agency and government. These top-down approaches follow a service
delivery model and often undermine our most important resource. The creativity, of people living
in conditions of unemployment themselves the below table show why the top-down, service
delivery approach so often fails, and why the bottom up, employment approach succeeds.
Service Delivery Vs. Empowerment
The conventional top-down,
The employment project
service delivery model
bottom up empowerment model.
Who are unemployment people? Beneficiaries whose basic need
must be met. Principal Authors and actor in development employment,
creative individuals who lack opportunities
What must be done? Provide service through
government or charities Mobilize and empower people self reliant action and stand in
solidarity with them for their success
What’s the primary resource for development? Money and the expertise of consultant
8. and program managers. People their visions, mobilization, entrepreneurship spirit and
confidence
What are the main constraints? Bureaucracy: the inefficiency of the
delivery system. Social conditions resignation, discrimination (Particularly gender) lack
of leadership,
lack of right.
What about social and cultural issue? Immutable conditions that must be
compensated for. Condition that youth can transform.
How should we focus our work? Carefully target beneficiaries on an
objective needs basic Mobilize every one as broadly as possible, build spirit and
momentum
of accomplishment.
The impact assessment program includes an in-house online global monitoring system, which is
currently under development and will integrate program and financial information to track inputs,
outputs, near-terms outcome and long term impact for each activity with in an analytic frame work
based on our theory of change.
Mission
The employment project mission is for the world to achieve the sustainable end of unemployment
a world where all youth have a productive life in harmony with nature, a life of dignity.
