Job creation and vocational qualifications are key in Germany’s development cooperation with Sudan. In 2020, Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned Deutsche Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to implement the “Employment Initiative Khartoum: Perspectives for the Future for Refugees and Host Communities”. The initiative works to enable the private sector, vocational training institutions and entrepreneurs to create a better future for refugees and local communities in Khartoum. The objective is to help improve employment conditions for these target groups in the state. The programme therefore runs various measures for vocational qualification and employment promotion.
