Overview : In April 2018, UNICEF initiated the Generation Unlimited (GenU) partnership at the global level, mobilizing public and private sector actors, UN agencies, and civil society organisations around the goal of ensuring every young person (aged 10-24 years) is in education, training or age-appropriate employment by 2030. Within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework and the UN Youth Strategy 2030, GenU will contribute to results related to education, skills, fostering decent work opportunities, and youth entrepreneurship and engagement. Like other UN agencies, UNICEF contributes to implementing the UN Youth Strategy in several ways, and UNICEF’s engagement in GenU is one of these. The GenU in-country public/private platforms aim to attract and pool investment in scalable, bankable initiatives with the transformational potential for positive youth development outcomes This consultancy aims to conduct a landscape analysis to provide information on adolescent and youth education and training; employment and skills building; empowerment and engagement in Botswana, and identification of scalable initiatives. This work will also include insight into the bottlenecks, challenges and gaps being experienced in these areas and recommendations on how best to drive the youth agenda under Generation unlimited in Botswana. The final documents will be critical reference documents for the recently set up National GenU Steering Committee in its work. |
