Summary: 

The second implementation phase (2015-2018) of FAO's Integrated Country Approach (ICA) for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agri-food system targeted Senegal, Uganda and Guatemala. FAO's efforts in this programme are aimed at providing rural youth with alternatives to migration through decent rural employment in agricultural value chains, and by fostering diaspora engagement in agri-business.

In particular, this second phase focused on the youth as main target group. It also adopted more cost-effective methods for capacity development, such as e-learning methodologies. This phase of the programme was also funded by SIDA through the FAO Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism (FMM).
