Public-private development partnerships for inclusive decent employment and productive livelihoods

The project will apply a Market Systems Development (MSD) approach to identify sectors and value chains with high economic growth potential through Rapid Market Assessments (RMAs) and more detailed Market Systems Analyses (MSAs). This approach will highlight opportunities and barriers across supply and demand factors, facilitating targeted interventions to enhance employability, strengthen enterprises, and expand access to essential services.

The second phase will integrate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) by addressing gaps related to gender, ethnicity, disability, and age. Through partnerships with various partners from public and private sectors, the project will develop inclusive strategies to ensure equitable access to resources, services, and benefits. Enhanced collaboration with public and private sectors will further anchor the project’s interventions in local systems, supporting skills development, lifelong learning, and community participation. This strategic, inclusive framework aims to create sustainable livelihoods and foster resilient communities across the target counties.
