Local Labour Market Assessments (LLMAs): EBS conducts a Labor Market Assessment to ensure that the activity’s youth employment interventions are aligned with the Government of Rwanda (GOR)’s sector priorities.

Feasibility studies: EBS conducts feasibility studies that propose projects that responds to labour market demands. This is done through research carried out among the target group and key stakeholders, drawing on the baseline study and supplementary primary and secondary data. Feasibility study provides organisations with sufficient information to justify acceptance, modification or rejection of the anticipated project.

By going through this process, the effectiveness of the project will be increased, and unsuitable.
