Descriptions

EJASA is a 15mln, 5 year project to increase the revenue of approximately 12000 youth. The project aims at contributing to improving the security situation and social stability in Benin by providing meaningful employment opportunities for young people and improving the food security of communities. In this project ICRAF proposes entry points to improve the EJASA intervention roll out as well as reaching out to other stakeholders to join forces and tackle the underlying issues that are beyond EJASA options.
