Rebuilding Economies Through People
In post-crisis and transition settings, the greatest untapped asset is human capital. Recovery succeeds only when it generates livelihoods and opportunity.
Youth & Jobs for Recovery is PALiNVEST’s strategic pillar dedicated to transforming emergency employment schemes into sustainable, market-aligned systems for work, entrepreneurship, and inclusion.
We design and operationalize employment architecture that integrates humanitarian response, national recovery, and private-sector growth, turning temporary relief into long-term resilience.
From Short-Term Relief to Systems for Opportunity
PALiNVEST supports governments, donors and development partners, and enterprises in developing adaptive employment ecosystems that grow with the recovery cycle.
Our approach focuses on four converging tracks:
Skills for Recovery – Rapid skilling programs aligned with reconstruction, energy, and innovation sectors.
Entrepreneurship for Resilience – Incubation and access to finance for small enterprises emerging from crisis.
Digital Connectivity – Linking youth to regional and remote job markets through technology and digital platforms.
Policy and Coordination Frameworks – Supporting ministries and donors in structuring employment compacts and recovery labor strategies.
Strategic Business Function
Youth & Jobs for Recovery functions as a programmatic business unit within PALiNVEST, connecting recovery initiatives with employment creation, workforce transition, and inclusive economic growth.
It delivers:
Design of national and local employment programs for post-conflict settings.
Labor-market systems that link education, innovation, and private investment.
Frameworks for green and digital job creation within broader recovery infrastructure (e.g., clean energy, construction, logistics).
Impact measurement tools that capture social and economic returns.
The objective is to transform youth potential into productive capacity, turning recovery into opportunity, and ensuring that rebuilding communities also rebuilds futures.
