Apprenticeship training activities are on-going and the entrepreneurship support program is on track to achieve its annual results.

All provinces benefit from the services of Business Development Services and the number of formal small enterprises created by direct beneficiaries indicate that these results will continue to be achieved as per annual targets. The validation of the qualification training plans at the provincial level and their approval by the Regional Coordination Committee (CCR) on July 2 also suggest that these opportunities will be soon available to project beneficiaries. 8/12/2021 Page 1 of 11 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Supporting the economic inclusion of youth (P151169) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Substantial Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Substantial Substantial Substantial Other -- Substantial Moderate Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Improving youth employability IN01026178 ►Beneficiaries of training activities (apprenticeship and qualification/retraining) who are inserted after project intervention (number) (percentage of women, inhabitants of rural areas) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 9,500.00 Date 30-Apr-2019 31-Dec-2020 31-Dec-2020 30-Apr-2024 This indicator measures the number of beneficiaries of training (apprenticeship and qualification/retraining) who are inserted.
