In Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a country where the majority of the population is under the age of 25, the ILO-PAEJK programme developed occupational and entrepreneurship training to improve the employability of young apprentices.
Frank Kakel Mbumb, once unemployed for several years with a diploma in food production, now is running his chicken farm business after receiving a microfinance loan and training from the PAEJK programme.
Speaking about his business, Frank said “we want to become a national leader in poultry production. Because today we’re raising about a hundred chickens, but our target is to produce thousands. We also want to incorporate other poultry farmers, since we’re a cooperative.”
The PAEJK programme has also equipped over 20 schools with computers for learning basic computer skills. Raïssa Mjilabo-Mukendi, a student who is receiving the training said: “this is going to be much more useful to me because today, to work in a company, you really have to know something about computers. Because with globalization, there are computers everywhere. I can do everything more easily with computers and find a job.”
Speaking about the future of the PAEJK project, Frédéric Lapeyre, ILO-PAEJK General Coordinator said the importance is to “ensure that the programme of activities drove the momentum for change and that the momentum for change could be sustained by the participants themselves and continue beyond the end of the PAEJK project.”
Known as PAEJK in French, the Activity Programme for Youth Employment in Katanga was held by the International Labour Organization with financial support from Belgium.
Through the PAEJK programme, over 1,000 young people in Katanga have been trained in diesel mechanics, welding, crafts and food production.
