Policy frameworks for Economic reintegration, social safety nets and employment creation
developed
4.8 Building on lessons learned, the new Country Programme introduces employment generation as
a key objective, providing an overarching impetus for poverty reduction initiatives both in a recovery
context and in more stable geographic locations. This approach recognizes youth unemployment in
particular as a challenge while identifying employment as a means to enhance livelihood options of
populations in rural and urban areas alike. However, the success of these initiatives depends on the
macroeconomic environment in the country; as such, the new Country Programme also will advocate
and support partners to strengthen the macro-economy to facilitate poverty reduction, generate
employment, and enable inclusive growth.
