CFAF135,000,000,000144 focuses on the following strategic thrusts: matching employment to training, enhancing the employment information system, promoting decent work for youths, promoting and developing youth entrepreneurship, and promoting labour market governance for youths. 192- During the execution phase, in 2017, PANEJ enabled the establishment of the Green Jobs Promotion Programme (2018-2022) with the aim of creating 108,500 jobs although there was insufficient financial mobilisation145. (b) Special Youth Emergency Plan (PLUS-JEUN) for the Consolidation of Civic Education and Youth Integration 193- The Special Three-year Youth Emergency Plan146launched on 11 January 2017with a budget of CFAF102,000,000,000147, is a Government Programme for youth economic integration that aims at supporting 1,500,000 youths. It has 3 components. 194- The first component is related to the establishment of a National Youth Observatory (NYO) that will serve as an intermediary between youth employment demand and youth employment supply service based on an inventory of their real aspirations. 195- In this regard, the NYO was instituted by Decision No. 9/2016/D/MINJEC/CAB of 23 February 2016 and placed under the supervisory authority of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Civic Education (MINJEC). The NYO that was established within the Youth Promotion Multi-purpose Centres (YPMC) Project, is a platform for mapping, mobilisation and guidance of youths towards appropriate channels for the achievement of their needs. The duty of the NYO is to facilitate the access of youths to institutions and programmes/projects that have a direct impact on their civic education, social integration, and economic promotion. It is an institution that welcomes, registers and listens to youths, provides them with information and guidance towards Government non-government programmes and projects developed for them. 196- The second component concerns specialization and capacity development of existing operational programmes or some other youth programmes on their civic education and national integration. In this regard, national training programmes on citizenship and national integration were organised by the National Civic Service Agency for Participation in Development. Youths were registered for voluntary services to use their skills and experience for national development. Financing was also provided to youths either individually or in groups for their self-employment in promising new areas. 197- Thus, FONIJ, an instrument to finance and guarantee youth projects was established by Decision No. 10/2016/D/MINJEC/CAB of 23 February 2016. It results from the financial sustainability of the Rural and Urban Youth Support Programme (PAJER-U) and the Youth Socioeconomic Integration Project for the establishment of micro-enterprises for the manufacture of sports material (PIFMAS). The goal of the Fund is to promote youth integration into production channels through the financing of their projects, and remuneration of intermediary organizations that prepare and guide youths towards self-employment and entrepreneurship. 198- The third component focuses on socio-educative infrastructure development with the construction and equipment of YPMC. As at 20 December 2018, the number of YPMCs stood at 434. 144 About 206,106,870 Euros. The Programme is estimated at CFAF21,000,000,000. 146 The goal was to set up a mechanism that matches demand to supply and that enables youths through mobilisation, orientation and supervision, to join the labour market depending on their needs and the different opportunities available. Besides, such matching resulted from the determination to record the efficiency and impacts of Government action towards youths. 147 About 155,725,190 Euros 40 145
