This policy report presents insights derived from the implementation of the ILO’s Norway- funded project “Egypt Youth Employment: Economic Empowerment under Forsa Programme” (EYE Forsa) project. The project aimed to foster self-employment opportunities for beneficiaries of the Takaful and Karama cash-transfer programs. The findings are based on experiences gathered during the project activities and are further supported by tracer exercises and assessments conducted post-interventions.
