Silatech

Programmes

• Employment

  Silatech aims to combat unemployment (particularly in fragile states and conflict-affected areas) by developing programs and mechanisms to connect job seekers with employment opportunities and providing youth with the necessary skills and experience to enhance work readiness. This is done by working with partners that are able to provide youth with training and the necessary technical skills required in the job market.
• Entreprise Development

  Silatech strives to economically empower youth and support them in developing income generating enterprises by facilitating access to financial resources, guaranteeing funds and investing in the capital of start-up companies that provide youth financing. Silatech also promotes the use of innovative financial tools, including mobile banking services to reach youth especially in rural and remote areas, and supports the capacity building of national financial institutions and youth beneficiaries to help them build and sustain income-generating enterprises.
• Policy and Research

  In an effort to further reinforce entreprise development and employment efforts, Silatech engages in policy and research by identifying and advocating for policy changes that improve the economic conditions of young people as well as disseminating knowledge to highlight innovative thinking and promote best practices in expanding economic opportunities for youth.
