    USAID is organizing an Industry Day event in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean to discuss a new educational initiative targeting youth aged 15-24 who are not engaged in employment, education, or training (NEET). The goal is to improve their soft skills and employment opportunities by collaborating with local organizations and institutions. Suriname and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are identified as primary beneficiaries of this initiative, which will employ a "pay-for-results" model where funding is contingent upon the achievement of specific outcomes. The event will take place at the Torarica Resort on September 30, 2024, and aims to foster communication between USAID and stakeholders, helping them understand educational priorities and funding requirements. Participation is free, though no costs related to attendance will be reimbursed. Interested organizations must register by emailing USAID with specific details before September 23, 2024. This initiative aligns with USAID’s 2020-2025 Regional Development Cooperation Strategy, focusing on sustainable improvements in economic and educational outcomes in the region.
