JOB DESCRIPTION
The private sector component of the Employment Promotion Programme (EPP III) deals with (1) training and support for young micro-entrepreneurs in rural areas, (2) support for the implementation of innovative business start-ups in five deliberately identified thematic areas (agriculture, tourism, renewable energies, information and communication technology, transport and merchandising) and (3) institutional strengthening of fully private sector member-oriented organisations. The various instruments have now been developed and tested, so the future lies in expansion, integration of the various beneficiaries, knowledge transfer to other donor or lead initiatives of the private sector. Issues such as access to finance and intensive support for champions and the identification, education and support of promising development cores including DPPs (Development partnerships with the economy) will be the focus in a next phase (2020 -2023).
