3. 360 vulnerable individuals (women and youth) from 6 target municipalities improve their knowledge and skills and are enabled to become employed/self-employed.
4. At the end of the project, the local executing agency LIR CD is enabled to better support vulnerable individuals, esp. women and youth at risk, consistent with project goals.
