The 3-year Somali Nexus Skills and Jobs is implemented by a consortium led by the Iftiin Foundation and in partnership with Puntland Development & Research Center (PDRC), Success Institute, and City University. It is a three-year program and the second phase of a previous pilot Nexus Skills and Jobs project supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This cross-regional program aims to create realistic, sustainable livelihood opportunities for the countless unemployed youth (15-24 and 24-35 years old) living in Somalia. The Consortium builds on this and their already proven experience in implementing and managing projects.
