Support Creating Opportunities To Eradicate Unemployment

• Vulnerability to GBV: Unemployment can exacerbate vulnerability to GBV, as financial dependence on partners may limit options for leaving abusive relationships. Supporting economic independence through job opportunities and skills training empowers individuals to escape abusive situations.
• Skills Development: Usizo Community Development Projects can offer vocational training and skills development programs tailored to the needs of women and youth in informal settlements. Equipping them with marketable skills enhances their employability and economic prospects.
  
  Partnerships with Employers: Collaborating with local businesses and industries to create job placement opportunities and apprenticeships helps bridge the gap between training and employment. These partnerships can also promote inclusive hiring practices that benefit marginalized communities.
• Community-Based Solutions: Engaging the community in identifying local economic opportunities and barriers to employment fosters solutions that are culturally and contextually relevant. Usizo Community Development Projects can facilitate dialogue and collaboration to address systemic challenges.
• Advocacy and Policy Engagement: Advocating for policies that promote job creation, fair labor practices, and gender equality in the workforce is essential. Usizo Community Development Projects can advocate at local and national levels to ensure policies support economic empowerment and GBV prevention.
