Feasibility Study in Wau and Yambio

South Sudan faces high unemployment, especially among youth and women, due to conflict, economic instability, and lack of demand-driven skills. With over 70% of the population under 30, there is an urgent need for sustainable employment opportunities. In response, ADRA South Sudan, with support from BMZ, has proposed a four-year project titled "Vocational Skills for Youth and Women Employability, Social Inclusion, and Livelihood Improvement in South Sudan." Targeting 1,000 vulnerable youth and women in Wau, Yambio, and Tonj, the project aims to provide quality vocational training aligned with market needs, including green jobs and renewable energy use. It also includes social cohesion components like trauma management and human rights education. A feasibility study was conducted to assess the project’s viability, risks, and alignment with development goals, and to strengthen institutional capacity for sustaining vocational training in the long term.
