We are looking for a dynamic and experienced individual to take on the role of Management Information System Expert, for our ‘Economic Acceleration and Resilience for NEET (EARN)’ project. We are currently inviting expressions of interest for this role, which is expected to commence in the second half of 2024 and will continue for a duration of four years.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS), in collaboration with the World Bank (WB), is implementing the 48-month Economic Acceleration and Resilience (EARN) project to engage NEET (not in education, employment, or training) youth, with a special focus on women, in rural and semi-urban areas of Bangladesh. The project aims to economically empower NEET youth through education, skills development, employment, and enterprise support. It provides women-centric facilities, enhances employability by building employer linkages, and offers upskilling in Socio-Emotional Behavior (SEB) and Entrepreneur Development (ED). Additionally, incubation support for employment and entrepreneurship will be provided. To ensure the inclusion of women and underserved groups, the project will create an enabling environment through awareness-raising, community engagement, family-based planning, and monitoring. A total of 250 Upazilas have been selected for the project.
