Entrepreneurship-focused socioemotional skills for the most vulnerable youth in rural Mongolia
Development Objective
The project development objective (PDO) is to train vulnerable, disadvantaged youth in 25 of Mongolia’s poorest rural districts across five provinces with socioemotional skills for improved performance in school and preparation for entry into self-employment.
The PDO will be achieved through a school-based, community-driven program targeting 6,000 school-enrolled and out-of-school youth to support acquisition of socioemotional skills that are linked not just to success in school, but are also highly valued in the labor market. The project will address the largely unmet need for socioemotional and entrepreneurship skills stemming from extremely limited labor market opportunities that lead to high inactivity among youth in these locations and a job profile dominated by traditional herding, unpaid work and self-employment in the informal sector.
