Pro-Jeunes: Boosting (self)employment for youth in Ivory Coast and the impact of socio-emotional skills training, information, and norms
With the World Bank African Gender Innovation Lab, IRC will provide business and employment services to 10,000 disadvantaged youth over 5 years. The goal is to estimate the impact of 2 variations of foundational skills training and combinations. One curriculum focuses on strengthening communication and negotiation skills; and the other on goal-setting and self-esteem.
