UNDP is the leading United Nations organization fighting to end the injustice of poverty, inequality, and climate change. Working with our broad network of experts and partners in 170 countries, we help nations to build integrated, lasting solutions for people and planet.

The Preparedness, Response and Resilience Programme focuses on strengthening national and local capacities to anticipate, respond to and recover from crises and disasters. It addresses structural challenges related to risk reduction, climate resilience and sustainable recovery, working in close partnership with government institutions, international organizations and civil society organizations.

The project aims to create good practice examples and establish mechanisms to increase the employability among NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) women between aged 18-35. By implementing the Project, it will establish and strengthen networks and cooperation among relevant stakeholders at international, national and local levels. In line with this goal, three main outputs are expected to be achieved:

2) Enhanced skills and employment opportunities for NEET Women.

3) Awareness raised for NEET women in society.
