　　Date:23 Jan 2024

　　Location: Alex, Egypt

　　Company: Plan International

　　The Organisation

　　Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

　　We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

　　Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

　　We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

　　We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

　　Summary of the Project:

　　Building on the success of Tamkeen II project supported by AFD, Plan International has designed the current Tamkeen III project with the objective to sustain and phase the project over by reinforcing young women and men socio-economic participation by enhancing their employability through youth-led structures in an increasingly enabling environment for young women. This will be achieved through improving their access to economic opportunities by increasing their skills and prospects for decent employment and starting small businesses; and to ensure a smooth sustainability and phase-over by strengthening ‘Tamkeen Clubs’ capacities to create a gender-supportive and enabling environment for better youth employability through capacity building, networking and advocacy. The structure of the Tamkeen clubs will be built utilizing the capacities of Tamkeen II alumni who are also responsible for skill transfer. The two-pronged approach will build on and develop young people skills, especially young women, for wage or self-employment opportunities and provide them with access to decent work opportunities in either track. On another front, Tamkeen clubs, which are alumni clubs aiming to support the project youth by passing on their knowledge and experience, will be capacitated to support young people in a gender sensitive way to lead the increasingly autonomous clubs, thus strengthening their ability to act collectively mobilizing key stakeholders. Targeted local and national stakeholders will also have their awareness increased and capacities built to promote youth economic participation in a gender-supportive environment nurturing the sustainability of Tamkeen Clubs.
