MAFITA

Northern Nigeria has high-youth unemployment, insecurity and limited of economic opportunities. This reality can lead to extremism and instability. Marginalised groups, such as adolescent women and the Almajirai are particularly hard-hit.

By 2021, the program will create a net total of 43,300 full-time equivalent jobs and assisting 23,500 micro and small enterprises (MSEs). The project will tackle the supply and demand side of the labour market, focussing on the delivery of skills essential for employment, as well as the absorptive capacity of the labour market.

The programme will also support local market systems to enable the absorption of MAFITA's target beneficiaries into sustainable income-generating activities.
