Silatech has said that it is targeting to ensure 415,000 jobs for youth in Morocco by the end of 2020.
The organisation met with a number of Moroccan ministers as well as its partners in the country to expand its programmes and discuss the launching of programmes that target youth employment in government entities and enable them in new sectors.
The organisation also aims to explore new opportunities in different sectors to launch programmes that benefit youth and enable them to develop their society.
“Morocco is one of the first countries Silatech worked in since its launch in 2008 and has an operation manager to follow up with the workflow. The number of Moroccan youth (both men and women) benefiting from the Silatech partnership programmes has reached 85,071,” it said.
Silatech designed a strategic programme that targets new opportunities in developing Moroccan sectors. For example, in its partnership with the Moroccan ministry of tourism and the International Youth Foundation to implement life skills training in 15 centres, Silatech benefited 3,649 youth and contributed to integrating 821 youth in the job market.
The organisation co-operated with five partner organisations to implement programmes to enable youth and attain financial coverage where the number of youth benefiting from the different micro-credit programmes has reached 81,422.
The organisation’s most prominent partnership is with youth financing facility Jaida, which reached 9,556 jobs over three associations. In addition, the organisation has a successful partnership with Attawfiq Microfinance to implement Bodour initiative, which achieved 68,379 jobs out of the 145,000 youth jobs targeted by 2020.
Silatech is an international, non-profit, non-governmental, social development organisation based in Qatar that works to connect Arab youth with jobs and resources necessary to establish and develop projects through working with national, regional and international partners.
The organisation works with a network of more than 300 national, regional and international partners to connect young people with economic opportunities and jobs through innovative initiatives in entrepreneurship and employment. (Source)
