My community in eastern DR Congo faces a serious problem, which is the difficulty of social and economic integration of young people affected by armed conflict. The country has been at war for several decades now, this situation leads to the displacement of populations and slows down agricultural and livestock activities, which are the main economic activities in the province of North Kivu for example. And young people are the main victims in particular because they have remained idle and almost naive, because young boys are easy prey for the militias and armed groups very active in the region, but also young girls are exposed to pregnancies and early marriages etc. Many obstacles hinder the socio-economic integration of these young people, in particular the lack of skills and professional experience, the inadequacy and poor diversification of the training offer, the weakness of traditional apprenticeship, the lack of opportunity etc. These obstacles are even greater among young girls but also in rural areas where economic markets and value chains are very poorly developed and structured.

In order to support the socio-economic integration of young girls and boys affected by armed conflicts in eastern DR Congo, my organization "Amani-Institute ASBL" will carry out awareness-raising actions in local communities on the importance of the economic empowerment of young people for local development and will implement safe and quality professionalizing initial training for their intention and capacity. Support measures (childcare, flexible hours) have been put in place to allow all young girls who become mothers early to participate.
Through these short-term training courses, in real work situations, young people will acquire technical and entrepreneurial skills and develop soft skills that will enable them to carry out an economic activity linked to the local economy. At the end of their training, these young girls and boys are accompanied by their community until their integration into active life in groups or individually.
The training courses are determined following an analysis of training needs in consultation with the beneficiaries and local actors (municipalities, families of the beneficiaries, family farms, economic actors, etc.) and taking into account the security situation. . The project also develops activities enabling young people to acquire life skills through education, personal development and the development of an entrepreneurial spirit.
