Plan Ethiopia is recognized by the Ethiopian government as a non-profit organization (Register no. 0773).

Ethiopian Centre for Development (ECD): ECD is a local NGO that was founded in 2004 and was recognised by the Ethiopian government as a local non-profit organisation (Register no. 1186). ECD aims to create better conditions and to improve access to opportunities for marginalised and impoverished children, young people and women, which will lead to an improvement in the livelihoods of everyone in the community. Their goal is to offer children living in poverty and young people who have been displaced, especially girls, better prospects for the future through education, training and the provision of financial support.

Project Context

Unemployment in Ethiopia is by and large an urban phenomenon. Unemployment rates are particularly high in Addis Ababa; where 23.5 percent of households report an unemployed adult, versus 11 percent of households in other urban areas. Addis Ababa, as the capital city and with 3 all its attractions for rural migrants, reflects the problem with a more magnified lens. The youth, defined as men and women from age 15-29 (FDRE, National Youth policy, 2004), represent the most vibrant segment of the population who can be key agents of social change, economic development, and technological innovations if provided with an enabling environment and opportunities. More than 28 percent of Ethiopia’s estimated 104 million population are aged 15 to 29 years. Even if Ethiopia has this part of the population in abundance, nearly 27% of the youth are estimated to be unemployed (USAID, 2017). The problem is even more serious for young women. A study by Plan, (Smart-Up, 2018) showed that Ethiopian young women are more than twice as likely to be unemployed as young men.
