These guidelines have been developed to provide practical introduction to employment creation and business related interventions for women, men and youth. They are written for use by district councils, ward and village level actors, civil society groups, private sector and development partners working on employment creation and gender equality issues. They comprise a combination of briefings and major relevant tools for promoting gender-sensitive employment creation in different sectors like agriculture (farming and livestock), non-farming activities (micro-enterprise development) and supportive systems to enhance quality and equitable extension and business services to women, men and youth.
