Creating Opportunities for Youth Employment in Sudan” is the Sudan Joint Programme (JP) aims for individuals and communities especially youth and vulnerable groups (particularly ex-combatants, mine victims, WAAFG, CAAFG) have access to improved income generation opportunities and employment through decent work. The signature of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005 is providing an enabling environment for more than four million displaced people to return to their homes throughout Sudan. This JP has been designed in consultation with the Government of National Unity and the Government of Southern Sudan both considering youth employment as a priority area in Sudan. The programme will help mainstream youth employment in national development frameworks and create employment opportunities to deliver peace dividends and support the overall CPA implementation. The JP targets six priority states including three in the North and three in the South. Due to the often challenging environment, the size of the country and the scale of the needs, this State-centered approach seeks to maximize impact of the programme. The Joint Programme was endorsed by the Government of Sudan
