EQUIP3/Bangladesh Youth Employment Pilot
The Bangladesh Youth Employment Pilot (BYEP) is an EQUIP3 Associate Award that focuses on the challenges and opportunities for improved vocational skills for youth in the fast-growing aquaculture industry. BYEP uses a youth-centered approach designed to add value to the golda (fresh water prawn) industry and provide education and employment opportunities for young women and men. The youth whom the BYEP project will place in work situations will also learn skills, such as literacy and numeracy, needed to support their long-term economic and social development.
Duration: 2008 to 2010
