Resumen
Descripción
The countries of the Group of Five for the Sahel (G5 Sahel) have a population of more than 75 million people, of which around two-thirds live in rural areas, mostly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. Around one-third of the population is aged 15 to 34, while more than 60 percent is younger than 25. The programme aims to improve the livelihoods, training and empowerment of young people, providing equipment and cash transfers to generate rapid and sustainable youth employment and, hence, avoid distress migration, destitution, social conflict and any increase in violence.
