Central American Employment Project Deemed a Success
Berlin, November 12, 2024 – The federal government has assessed the employment project in Central America as a success. This is the result of an evaluation report presented by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
The project, which began in 2019, aimed to create sustainable employment opportunities in the region and reduce migration. It focused on three main areas: vocational training, job creation, and support for small businesses.
According to the evaluation, the project has achieved its goals. Over 100,000 people have participated in vocational training programs, and over 50,000 new jobs have been created. In addition, over 1,000 small businesses have received support.
The project has also had a positive impact on migration. A study by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) found that the project has helped to reduce the number of people leaving Central America for economic reasons.
The BMZ has welcomed the evaluation results. “The project has made a significant contribution to improving the living conditions of people in Central America and reducing migration,” said BMZ State Secretary Jochen Flasbarth. “We will continue to support the region in its efforts to create jobs and reduce poverty.”
The Central American employment project is part of the federal government’s broader efforts to address the root causes of migration. The government has pledged to provide over €4 billion in funding for development cooperation in the region by 2025.
