Trained over 300 individuals from 15 governorates in Egypt on e- skills and employment readiness, funded by the UN and the Ministry of State for Migration Affairs. On another front WFP and the Ministry of Emigration have been joining efforts on the Life Saving Boats initiative to combat irregular migration through the creation of community champions at the village levels to raise awareness on the risks of irregular migration and its safe alternatives. Community schoolteachers are trained as trainers to raise awareness within their villages among youth and their families. The Bdaya digital program aims to improve the employability of young people and increase their competitiveness in the labor market by offering skills and qualifications that are in high demand in the local market and pertinent to a variety of sectors and industries. Boost the employability of youth and returning Egyptian labor who have been laid off as a result of COVID-19 and offer them employment opportunities. Reduce the likelihood of irregular migration, which is primarily motivated by unemployment and insufficient income. In order to mitigate the likelihood of irregular migration, INNODEV offers online and in-person training to enhance the qualifications and employability of youth and adults in rural and urban areas who are experiencing challenges in obtaining income. These skill packages would equip them with market demanded skills and qualifications, thereby enabling them to secure a job opportunity with a reasonable source of income that enables them to meet their local requirements, thereby preventing irregular migration. .
