The project addresses the difficult situation of young men and women in Iraq, who, especially in the south of the country, face challenges in accessing opportunities for employment, as well as for developing skills for employment. The current official national unemployment rate is 18.2% according o the CIA World Fact book 2009 - in Southern Iraq, this figure is estimated to be much higher, specially for young women.
