External Environment Situations
Techno-Economic Situation
Addressing youth development issues is an enormous yet essential undertaking. The CAAA suggests a focused yet comprehensive approach to making youth related interventions more impactful and capable of
achieving the desired outcomes. If properly implemented, the strategy has the potential to change the lives of millions of youth around Ethiopia through positive and constructive interventions aimed at creating a productive population of future leaders in businesses, communities and economies. From experience CAAA realizes serious gaps in global competitiveness related to infrastructure, technology and finance, the availability of jobs is not increasing with the increase of the population willing to participate in the labour market. Additionally, the restricted access to modern knowledge and outdated curricula have caused a mismatch between the available demand from employers and the supply of skills from young people in CAAA’s project areas.
Socio-Political Situation
Nevertheless, as CAAA is working in all parts of Tigrai, the ongoing devastating war coupled with the long lasting siege in the region has brought significant obstacles in the performances of the organization and achieving the intended objectives. The unstable political situation in Ethiopia in general and the current huge political crisis as well as undefined fate of Tigrai in particular have created threats in designing and operating
of CAAA major activities. As CAAA is working with the youth segment and the ongoing war is largely
affecting to the youth, CAAA is becoming the prior victim of the conflict which failed to implement the planned project activities on time and bring the intended changes within the beneficiary youth. The war involves more than 90% of youth people who had different visions to improve their future lives inspired by CAAA project activities like capacity building training, loan services and income generating activities abandon because of the conflict.
