and institutional framework to make it easier to start and run
a business.

develop policies to integrate the informal sector into the
mainstream economy, raise its productivity and improve
conditions of work.
Governments, (national and local levels) need to encourage a
broad and dynamic concept of entrepreneurship to stimulate
both personal initiative and initiatives in a broad variety of
organizations

recommendation on promoting innovation and
entrepreneurship for young women and young men.

and assets as well as their aspirations.

overcome the many obstacles they face in starting a business.

large numbers of young people.
We should not necessarily think in terms of another project
or programme but start thinking more strategically.
Our strategy should foster partnership between and build on
the existing efforts of governments, employers’
organizations, trade unions, youth organizations and other
civil society groups to learn from each other and to pool
efforts and resources.

entrepreneurship education.

Offer initial and continuous teacher training
Create and disseminate teaching contents, tools, methods
and materials
Make space in the curriculum for testing new methods
Establish support networks
21. • Make entrepreneurship an integral part of the
Curriculum:
Key role for ministries of education
Changes in teaching methods: experiential learning, teacher as
a facilitator, coach, moderator
Changes in education context: take students out of the
classroom (into local community and real businesses)
Combine a mandatory cross-curricular approach with a
selectable training as a specific subject.
