Pilot Project (Danish Refugee Council and Education for Employment)

Introduction and background:
Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an international non‐governmental organisation, which promotes and supports durable solutions to the problems faced by refugees and internally displaced people all over the world, and works to improve safety, strengthen community resilience, and build local capacities to reduce and prevent violence and conflict.
DRC began operating in Tunisia in 2011, providing humanitarian assistance to refugees fleeing the Libyan conflict in Shousha camp near Ben Guerdane in the southeast of the country. In 2014 DRC began implementing peacebuilding projects in the same region, enhancing community security and resilience in the border‐towns of Ben Guerdane and Dehiba and in March 2018, extended its intervention to the Libyan border‐towns of Zuwara, Nalut, and Wazin with a similar approach of community engagement and capacity building to local organisations.
DRC has established community‐based Conflict Management and Analysis Committees (CMACs) in each of the five locations where it intervenes and supports the CMACs to conduct regular analysis on conflict dynamics and to design and implement local actions that can tangibly affect peaceful change.
DRC is currently implementing a pilot project with Education for Employment that will aim to support young people in Medenine Governorate to either find a job or start their own business.
Fifteen selected participants will receive support to facilitate their access to the job market to strengthen income stability and secure jobs.
