Dear Kabissa members: The Youth Employment Network (YEN) is an interagency initiative of the United Nations, the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the World Bank which pools experience to address the youth employment challenge.

We are currently creating a database of initiatives in West Africa that are tackling youth employment. The database already has 100 projects from Anglophone West Africa and we are now hoping to continue expanding in these countries as well as extend it to include Francophone and Lusophone West Africa.
