The Support Project for Youth Employment and Skills Development in Rural Areas (PADEJ-MR) was designed to address the issue of youth integration more effectively. The project aims to create favourable conditions for more inclusive economic growth that can reduce youth unemployment and underemployment. This will be done in particular through the integration of employment at the heart of sectoral policies and the development of young people's skills in relation to the productive sector. The project is also part of the National Strategy for the Development of Agricultural Entrepreneurship (SNDEA, 2017-2026), which is the framework document for the promotion of agricultural entrepreneurship in Burkina Faso. The project will contribute to the creation of favourable conditions for more inclusive economic growth, which can reduce youth unemployment and underemployment. The project has three main components, namely: (I) support for entrepreneurship of young graduates of higher education in agriculture and agribusiness; (II) development of skills for employability and entrepreneurship of rural youth and (III) project management and coordination. Component 1 aims to support entrepreneurship among young graduates of higher education in agriculture and agri-business. Component 2 aims to develop skills for the employability and entrepreneurship of young rural people with or without diplomas/qualifications. The third component supports project management.
