SINCE aims at contributing to the reduction of

most vulnerable population.

The specific objective of SINCE is to facilitate the

creation of employment opportunities for

potential migrants and returnees, focusing on women

and youth, in the most migration prone regions of

Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and

Tigray), by strengthening the capacities of Technical

Vocational Training (TVET) centers and Public

Employment Services (PES) providers, and by

promoting Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in

strategic value chains.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

The implementation of SINCE includes two main

strategic pillars:

short-term responses to facilitate wage employment

to 8,200 people through the provision of training

courses relevant to private sectors needs;

medium and long-term strategies, establishing 16

multi-stakeholders platforms to promote

sustainable 145 Public -Private Partnerships.
