32 Agribusinesses & 32 non-Agribusinesses plus Vocational Trainings in Sinjar-Yazda, ASB and BMZ
As part of the livelihood and agricultural project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Yazda together with its partner Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) have started to implement several activities in Sinjar City and its surroundings.
Eight individuals (four male and four female), selected based on the vulnerability criteria, have started vocational training in September to learn new skills and gain experience that will support them in future employment opportunities. As the four men are placed in existing businesses, it also supports the capacities of small business owners. The trainees and trainers both receive a small monetary allowance in addition to the printed training materials. As the men are learning practical skills at workplaces such as mechanic or repairman, the women are learning tailoring and baking - skills that allow them to also work from home.
In addition to the vocational training, this program also aims to open 32 agribusinesses and 32 non-agribusinesses during the two-year period. Some of the participants have already been selected and received training on managing small business, accounting and marketing in addition to submitting their business plans. Six small grocery shops in Sinjar City and surrounding villages are already in the process to officially open their doors to customers this week.
All these income-generating opportunities aim to increase the scale of economy in Sinjar and strengthen the capacities of the most vulnerable groups of society.
