Private Sector Development Youth need access to reliable, fairly paid jobs to break the cycle of poverty. Helvetas creates partnerships and promotes policies that build more inclusive economies. Voice, Inclusion & Cohesion In many countries where we work, men and women are unable to claim their rights and participate actively in decision-making processes. Gender & Social Equity Helvetas makes sure that our work actively and meaningfully includes and supports the most disadvantaged groups. Youth Young people are a tremendous asset, but also a possible threat when denied access to labor markets, services and decision-making. Almost every second unemployed person is aged between 15 and 24. Urban Engagement In 1960, only 1/3 of the global population lived in cities. Today, it’s 55% and growing. Helvetas looks for ways to ensure that this rapid urbanization benefits the poor and the marginalized.
