Das Projekt in Kürze
Hintergrund Eritrea is a low-income country ranking generally at the bottom end of international development rankings, it is ruled by the Peoples’ front for Democracy and Justice. The Government slogan of “self-reliance” is linked to the country’s impression of being left alone by the international community (sanction regime in relation to Somalia). Thousands of Eritreans leave their country, high numbers to Switzerland. Most of them are young men. Swiss domestic politics called SDC to respond to the challenge and it was decided to start investments in young Eritreans in their home country in order to improve their life perspectives. Most of the Eritreans flee their country because they do not have real life perspectives. Remittances are extremely important for the survival of the Eritrean population.
Ziele Through the components of its technical and vocational education training programs, SDC contributes to better job-opportunities for young Eritreans in their home-country and better life perspectives. The new Swiss pilot programs shall build trust and credibility between the two Governments leading to opportunities for a regular, broad bilateral policy dialogue.
Zielgruppen TVET trainers and TVET students are the key target group of the project. With regards to the students, a well balanced recruitment approach for girls and boys students and female and male teachers will be sought. Don Bosco is specifically recruiting students from the underprivileged segment of the eritrean youngsters, whereas the school in Massawa aims to work with companies in the private and semi-private sector in order to improve the skill of their employees.
Mittelfristige Wirkungen

Outcome 1: Don Bosco contribution: Aims to Increase job opportunities through a contribution to the improvement of the education system, the learning and social conditions of the youngsters, with particular attention to marginalised youth, in the areas of Asmara, Dekemhare, Nakfa, Hagaz and Mai Habar.

Outcome 2: “Schweizerisches Unterstützungskomitee für Eritrea” contribution: the Massawa vocational training centre is - under the responsibility of National Confederation for Eritrean Workers - operational in the training of young electricians and young Eritreans in the hospitality sector. It delivers relevant technical and vocational skills to trainers and workers in the region and recruits new students for the training. In the medium term the program contributes to establish a functional TVET system with dual elements.

Outcome 3: the Embassy of Khartoum facilitates a broad policy dialogue between Switzerland and Eritrea.
