PAIEJ-SP: Second phase may commence soon

(Togo First) - In Togo, the second phase of the Support Project for Youth Employability and Integration in Growth Sectors (PAEIJ-SP) should begin soon. A nationwide survey is currently being conducted to define the orientations and outlines of this phase. 

Authorities behind the project decided to move on to the second stage because the results of the first stage were beyond their expectations.

Regarding the upcoming orientations of the program, they include consolidating the achievements of the first phase, strengthening the support mechanism for entrepreneurs, and creating more jobs.

Carried out over the past five years, the first stage of the PAIEJ-SP gulped an investment of CFA17 billion from the government and the AfDB which is backing the project. It claims to have created about 800,000 jobs, including 55,000 indirect ones and supported nearly 20 SMEs/SMIs and 3,000 associations

Earlier this year, the PAIEJ-SP, which is deployed especially in secondary sectors (soybeans, cassava, small ruminants rearing, etc), organized a meeting between the farmers it supports and its financial partners. The meeting’s objective was to ease the financing of the 2022-2023 agricultural campaign.
