The evaluation found that the program
successfully shifted high-risk men from criminal activities
into farming. Graduates earned more money than their
counterparts who weren t enrolled in the program, spent less
time in illegal work and were less likely to consider
fighting as mercenaries in neighboring conflicts. The
evaluation also showed that skills training isn t always
enough; men who received training but didn t get their
start-up capital didn t do as well as those who did. As
policy makers in the region look to strengthen their
economies and boost stability, the results of this
evaluation offer guidelines for crafting successful
programs. The findings shed light on some of the constraints
that youth face when trying to pursue work opportunities:
Training alone may not be enough if it isn t supplemented
with start-up capital.
