NEET no more: quality education and skills development provision to youth to enhance employment opportunities in the Horn of Africa - II Phase The Action is informed by achievements, insights, and expressed stakeholders needs arising from the implementation of previous interventions including the first phase of ''NEET no more: quality education and skills development provision to youth to enhance employment opportunities in the Horn of Africa''. Terra Nuova, an International Non-Government Organisation, developed the concept for STVS in 1998 in response to experiences with itinerant animal health training programmes within the Somali ecosystem. In 2001 AU-IBAR authorised STVS to be initiated under its auspices. With funding through the Italian Cooperation, European Union, and the Royal Danish Embassy, STVS developed, over a period of 15 years, into a fully functional tertiary training institution, with accreditation from regional universities in the fields of livestock health and livestock product safety (diploma level accredited by Makerere University) and in drylands economics and ecosystem management (degree level accredited by University of Nairobi). In July 2012, STVS was adopted by IGAD through the  of Ministers meeting, hence becoming IGAD STVS or ISTVS. Since then, it has continued to expand its network with regional tertiary education institutions and has developed its governance structure in line with its new vestige. This has taken place within a rapidly changing environment, particularly in the education sector, where the provision of education is perceived as a lucrative business opportunity resulting in the mushrooming of low quality schools and training institutions. This is leading to the production of hundreds of frustrated youth with worthless qualifications who risk ending up migrating or becoming targets for recruitment by extremist groups. The current proposal is designed by IGAD with an eye to consolidating and further developing ISTVS, with particular emphasis on securing its sustainability and diversifying its funding mechanisms for a sustainable tertiary education institution specialising in the drylands of the IGAD region.
