UK additions FY2018

A. Program additions

UK funding will enable the Program to add one One-Stop-Shop (OSS) in one additional neighborhood of either Tangier or Tetouan.

UK funding will further impact three of the four program components, namely Sub-Purposes 1, 3 and 4. Additional activities under these components will indirectly impact Component 2, focused on the organizational and technical capacity of partner civil society organizations (CSOs), as CSOs manage a greater volume of activities.

Regional Footprint

IOM will carry out a selection process open to Moroccan associations based and operating in the cities of Tangier and Tetouan. IOM will combine data from proposals to gauge organizational capacity, and from existing knowledge on underserved urban and peri-urban neighborhoods. IOM will also confer with strategic partners such as the Social Action Division (DAS) in the selection process.

IOM will proceed to replicate the FORSATY model with the selected association. IOM will conduct an initial organizational capacity assessment; proceed with program development, budgeting and grant making. IOM/FORSATY specialists will provide technical assistance and training to assist the new OSS in implementing the FORSATY model targeting all three FORSATY groups: in-school youth at risk of dropping out; disenfranchised out-of-school working age youth seeking decent employment; excluded youth unable to seize local opportunities.

Sub-Purpose 1: Youth are full-fledged citizens in their neighborhoods and cities Outcome 1.1: Neighborhoods empower and bond youth

1. Develop technical capacity in key areas of artistic expression. Funding will enable IOM to provide all active youth clubs with professional methodological instruction, including musical, audio-visual and theater arts, improving prospects for community club members to rise to mainstream production. This will generate a number of semi-professional and professional young artists that can establish sustained, public artistic activities and become positive models reaching significant numbers of neighborhood youth.

2. Foster local identity through citywide events. Funding will enable IOM to bring all FORSATY artistic clubs of a same city to perform together once a year in an event attended by political and civic leaders. This will bring participating youth to consider their belonging to a city through connection to a city-stage and city-level actors, thus building resilience.

3. Engage youth from all three cities in cultural dialogue on Moroccan Islamic and national values, enabling cultural defenses to play against extremist messaging and recruitment. UK funding will enable FORSATY to extend this activity, funded for Fnideq, to young participants under Component 1 in Tangier and Tetouan. Specialized Moroccan CSO Arrabeta Mohammadia will implement the activity.

Outcome 1.2 Youth are engaged in their social and political environment and Outcome 1.3 Power holders are responsive to youth needs and proposals

1. Enable 150 youth to experience a 15-day camp to deepen personal skills and gain direction, transforming their course. This will enable more promising youth, selected from new participants, to emerge and serve as models for other youth.

2. Enable 80 youth leaders to attend a camp to develop solid capacity to initiate community initiatives. The camps will prepare youth leaders to be able to launch and manage successful initiatives in their neighborhoods.

3. Fund community initiatives developed by the program’s 80 young neighborhood leaders. This funding will enable young leaders to access resources (under $1000) to execute initiatives such as embellishments, planting of trees, purchase and/or repair of public equipment (soccer goals, swing sets, benches), small-scale public service initiatives such as corrective eyewear for poor students, training fees for those that cannot afford it, drug prevention drives, and mobilize public resources and funding. This will produce a cadre of youth empowered and demonstrating to power holders that excluded youth can be a productive and positive force in the community.

4. Provide Community Component youth in Tangier with knowledge and a structure to address the problem of drug abuse, through grassroots workshops and the establishment of relays in One-Stop-Shops. This will empower Community youth to become active in addressing one of the major issues keeping excluded youth from gaining direction, a path forward. The activity will impact both, young leaders, who will have the structure and tools to make the fight against drug abuse a community initiative, and impact youth suffering from drug abuse. Specialized CSO Hasnouna will implement the activity.

5. Enable FORSATY CSO partner ATIL to fully replicate the Community component with the commune of Tetouan. ATIL will bring institutional support to the commune of Tetouan in replicating the Community approach in a new neighborhood, run by a Commune official, housed within a Commune service center.

Sub-Purpose 3: Schools retain and prepare marginalized youth for integration Outcome 3.1: Marginalized youth are better integrated in school

1. Double, in two pilot neighborhoods, the number of youth participating in OSS pedagogical and extracurricular programs. Two OSS will add a second cohort of educators and monitors and reach an additional 100 to 200 youth each. The expansion will enable the OSS to strengthen its organizational capacity by adapting its management structure for the education component. As a result, coverage will extend to new schools in the school catchment area and/or enable greater coverage of needs at the middle-school level.

Sub-Purpose 4: Marginalized youth are trained and have access to decent jobs

1. Diversify vocational workshops in response to labor market opportunities. OSS partners will develop new professions in response to new opportunities in the market, including in the growing automotive industry. Potential trades include boilermakers, metal technicians, and will be oriented toward employment at the onset, through private sector partnerships. The new workshops will broaden the number of youth that access decent employment, diversify choice of trade and make the OSS more resilient to potential market turns (textile) over time.

IOM will work with Tetouan OSS and Entraide Nationale partners toward resolving the issue of insufficient vocational training capacity and decent employment opportunities in Tetouan. IOM will partner with ANAPEC to survey industrial sectors, including agro-industrial, planned coastal tourism development, the Meloussa Industrial zone, and identify growth areas suitable for FORSATY beneficiaries. Existing employer in-house training (CFA-IE) opportunities and bussing accommodations, transporting Tetouan employees to Meloussa and the zone immediately north of Tetouan, will be inventoried. This activity dovetails with the diversification of workshops, above. It will provide a deeper and strategic response to the Tetouan issue and provide additional resources for a study, transportation, and tooling of additional workshops beyond the ones planned in August.

Netherlands additions FY2018

Additions to the scope of work

A. Expansion to one new target neighborhoods

Netherlands funding will enable the FORSATY Program to add one additional neighborhood to the existing five neighborhoods where the program is now active. The new neighborhood will offer complete One-Stop-Shop services, reaching thousands of marginalized youths. FORSATY will run a selection process in Tangier and Tetouan and will fund either one additional OSS in Tangier or Tetouan. Modifications to the corresponding performance targets are imbedded in the respective sections below.

B. Expansion to Al Hoceima

Netherlands funding will enable the Program to initiate activities in Al Hoceima. IOM will conduct a rapid assessment and scoping mission to acquire an understanding of the history and current dynamics of the city and province, identify potential partners and adapt the FORSATY model so that it responds to local reality. Illustrative activities resulting from the scoping exercise, include:

· Under Sub-Purpose 1, youth capacity to initiate and sustain activities in sports, performing arts and media are strengthened, multiplying creative outlets and the number of youth involved in sports and cultural activities; The Youth Leader Council activity is expanded to include youth mobilization in participatory city planning and volunteer/internship in city improvements.

· Under Sub-Purpose 3, students in grades 5 to 9, at-risk of dropping out of school, access appropriate pedagogical support, extracurricular activities and psychosocial services.

· Under Sub-Purpose 4, public vocational training centers add appropriate vocational counseling services and soft skills training to their existing service.

C. Sub-Purpose 1 Youth are full-fledged citizens in their neighborhoods and cities

Netherlands funding will enable the Program to initiate the following:

1. Enable OSS partner Al Amal to expand its Community program to a new neighborhood in Tetouan. Al Amal currently runs a community program in two neighborhoods, namely Old Medina and Boujarrah. The program will be expanded to nearby J’bel Dersa neighborhood, where poverty and marginalization are severe, and where ISIL training camps have been reported. As a result, at least 100 youth from J’bel Dersa will benefit from Community activities.

2. Develop a Cultural program for youth emerging from the Community component. The program, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture and other potential partners such as Communes/Districts, the INDH, and the Private Sector, will multiply the number of permanent outlets, such as theater troupes and audio-visual clubs that can cater to youth that have emerged from the Community component and show sustained interest. As a result, at least 150 youth will integrate professional-level cultural activities.

3. Provide additional resources to the Youth Leaders Council (YLC) Program, enabling the program to offer young leaders and community officials with a broader package of training, and augmenting the number of public forums, debates and other occasions for exchange. As a result, the YLCs will have a higher profile and be in a stronger position to influence public policy.

4. As mentioned under “A”, above, one new OSS will launch a Community program, enabling excluded youth in two new neighborhoods to access the program.

5. Provide Community Component youth in Tetouan with knowledge and a structure to address the problem of drug abuse, through grassroots workshops and the establishment of relays in One-Stop-Shops. This will empower Community youth to become active in addressing one of the major issues keeping excluded youth from gaining direction, a path forward. The activity will impact both, young leaders, who will have the structure and tools to make the fight against drug abuse a community initiative, and impact youth suffering from drug abuse. Specialized CSO Hasnouna, Tetouan chapter, will implement the activity.

D. Sub-Purpose 3 Schools retain and prepare marginalized youth for integration

Netherlands funding will enable the Program to initiate the following:

1. Strengthen school governance in target schools. FORSATY will work with school directors and the Provincial Education Administration (PEA) to build the organizational capacity of Parent Associations (PAs) and enable them to play a leading role in coordinating OSS services for at-risk in-school youth. This will include mobilizing funding from parents and other sources to contribute to the cost of OSS services, mobilizing parents around school issues including violence in the school. The program will also work with the school directors and PAs of each school catchment area (primary schools and middle school) to foster community dialogue around education and share best practices between schools on inclusive methods and programs that prevent at-risk youth from dropping out. As a result, the institutionalization of

2. Incorporate soft skills and Life Skills Clubs into the service offer of OSS to partner schools. Soft skills will be incorporated into extracurricular activities provided by OSS, and training in soft skills will be extended to teachers of partner schools as part of teaming up OSS monitors and school teachers. Existing clubs will be maintained, trained and coached on the new soft skills methodology and approach. Training of monitors will increase the impact of extracurricular on participating students. Moreover, the activity will increase the number of teachers using soft skills and participatory methodology in their classrooms.

3. As mentioned under “A”, above”, two new OSS will enable at-risk students in grades 5, 6, and the three years of middle school, to access the FORSATY package of pedagogical support, extracurricular activities and psychosocial services. Parental mobilization will also be introduced.

Sub-Purpose 4 Marginalized youth are trained and have access to decent jobs

Netherlands funding will enable the Program to initiate the following:

2. Enable five existing OSS partners to launch an entrepreneurship program. The program will expose OSS beneficiaries to the essence and principles of entrepreneurship and provide capable and interested candidates in training and mentoring to start their own business. This will open new avenues for youth to become independent tradesmen such as plumbers, electricians, and service providers, under the Moroccan Autonomous Worker legal status. FORSATY will partner with existing programs such as the INDH, Mohammed VI Foundation and ANAPEC to help participants secure funding. Entrepreneurship training open to all FORSATY participants at an introductory level, will contribute to spread a culture of entrepreneurship and initiative. As a direct result, between 30 and 60 youth are expected to launch their businesses in FY2018.

3. As mentioned under “A”, above”, two new OSS will enable out-of-school from two new neighborhoods to benefit from the package of vocational services delivered by OSS.
