The main goal of CORE project is to significantlyincrease household off-farm income for women and youth in Nyamasheke and Rusizi districts by 2018.
Women and youth face significant barriers to entering the formal labour market, especially the off-farm labor market. The key barriers that women and youth face in increasing their economic opportunities in Nyamasheke and Rusizi districts are:
* Limited access to skills training
* Barriers to empowerment for women
* Limited non-farm collective activity within the districts
* Limited access to market information
* Limited access to financial services for women and youth
* Limited support structures in place for entrepreneurs
* Limited availability of ICT Services within the districts
