This document provides guidelines on setting up local employment committees (LECs) in West Africa with a view to improving services available to young people in rural areas.
This publication sets out the main guidelines underpinning the strategic and operational aspects of any move to territorialize/localize employment policy through the establishment of LECs.
Its objective is to encourage decision-makers and those responsible for employment policies to undertake initiatives and reforms for a better adaptation of their national employment policies to territorial specificities and realities, according to the needs, resources and opportunities available.
It also aims to provide local actors with clear and practical guidance on how to set up and manage local employment committees (LECs), as well as on the risk factors to be anticipated and the conditions for success to be ensured.
