The U.S. government-led Enabling Environment and Competitiveness Donors Working Group (GEAC) and its stakeholders, including private sector and government counterparts, convened on May 27th.

The United States Government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will provide job training to 2,500 youth as part of an Education project called Passerelles, or “Pathways” in French. Since 2018, USAID’s Passerelles project has been offering alternative education options to children and youth in the Casamance and Kedougou regions. Activities under this project are implemented by USAID’s partner, FHI 360. This month, FHI 360 signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Save the Children and the Fonds de Financement de la Formation Professionnelle et Technique (3FPT), a vocational and technical training fund financed by the Government of Senegal, to provide job training to 15 to 19 year olds in southern Senegal.
