Overview
The Community Youth Skills and Innovation Centers project focuses on equipping young people with practical skills and leadership competencies that improve their employability and economic independence. The project responds to high youth unemployment and limited access to vocational and innovation opportunities. By creating safe and inclusive spaces for learning and collaboration, the project enables youth to actively participate in economic development, peacebuilding, and civic engagement within their communities.
