Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Program (YEIDEP)
The Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Program (YEIDEP) is a groundbreaking initiative designed to empower young Nigerians by providing them with meaningful economic opportunities and skills development. This program represents a strong collaboration between the Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, and the non-governmental organization, Youths Off The Streets.
YEIDEP was established to address two pressing challenges facing Nigerian youths today: economic instability and the risk of radicalization due to unemployment and lack of opportunities. By focusing on economic empowerment and skill acquisition, YEIDEP aims to create a sustainable pathway for young people to achieve financial independence and contribute meaningfully to national development.
Objectives of the YEIDEP Initiative
The core aim of YEIDEP is to offer a structured platform that supports Nigerian youths in building a stable and productive future. Some of the primary objectives of the program include:
-
Job Creation: YEIDEP targets the creation of up to 12 million new jobs across different sectors of the economy. This will be achieved through strategic economic engagements, entrepreneurship support, and vocational training.
-
Skills Development: Participants will have access to specialized training programs tailored to the demands of today’s job market. These programs will equip them with technical skills, business knowledge, and personal development tools necessary for success.
-
Economic Empowerment: By providing access to funding opportunities, mentorship, and partnerships with businesses, YEIDEP ensures that young Nigerians are not only skilled but are also financially empowered to start or expand their ventures.
-
De-Radicalization Efforts: Through education, employment, and engagement, the program seeks to counteract the influence of extremist ideologies and reduce youth vulnerability to radicalization.
