Youth and women

What the territory lives

Young people migrate to big cities. Women process and sell a great deal, but have little access to secure land and credit. Local public contracts often remain closed to them.

What doing nothing costs

• The territory loses its driving force and rural exodus deepens.
• Women remain confined to activities without equipment or financing.
• A programme that does not measure real jobs has nothing to show in the end.

Our response

We build a four-tier jobs pipeline, fed by productive investment: immediate jobs (labour-intensive works, data collection, tax census), skilled jobs (academy, trades school, placement), entrepreneurs (rural incubator, franchises, leased equipment), and induced jobs among suppliers, carriers and traders. The levers: secure access to land, access to financing, local public procurement, digital brigades, diaspora.

What you get

• A jobs and inclusion plan with a published counting method
• A clear distinction between temporary and lasting jobs
• Access criteria for young people and women written into the programmes
• Cohort tracking in the observatory

A rural incubator, a processing workshop run by a women’s group, a training space are assets: they have a manager, revenue and an operating budget.

• Women’s group or youth cooperative for processing units
• Designated incubation operator, with mentoring and market access
• Guarantee fund or leasing to equip trained entrepreneurs, backed by banks or microfinance institutions
