Contribute to ensuring equitable access to quality technical and vocational training as well as decent employment for women, young people in vulnerable situations, and persons with disabilities in the municipalities of Maputo, Beira and Vilankulo.
Places of intervention
In a context marked by high levels of youth unemployment and underemployment, persistent inequalities in access to training and employment, as well as a high incidence of poverty in peri-urban areas of Mozambique, the DO – Destino Além project aims to strengthen the socio-economic inclusion of young people, women and persons with disabilities. By promoting access to quality technical and vocational training, strengthening links between training and employment stakeholders, and developing opportunities for professional integration and self-employment, the project responds to major development challenges facing the country. Its approach thus contributes to promoting more inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the provinces of Maputo, Inhambane and Sofala.
Our engagements
Strengthen the capacities of public and private institutions responsible for employment services and vocational training regarding the inclusion of women, vulnerable youth, and persons with disabilities.
Improve access for young women in vulnerable situations to qualified and proactive socio-professional information and guidance services at the community level.
Increase opportunities for vocational training, integration into the labour market, and self-employment for women and vulnerable youth.
The project in action

- Offer Human Development training modules to develop “soft skills” and “human skills” sought by employers

The nugget !
Renforcer les liens entre le secteur public et privé en lien avec l’employabilité des jeunes : le projet vise à enrichir nos pratiques en termes d’accompagnement et d’appui à l’employabilité des jeunes en partageant les pratiques des acteurs privés et publics lors de tables rondes thématiques et de workshop de formation. Ce projet innove en proposant une approche de co-construction (tables rondes) pour la capitalisation et mise en place de bonnes pratiques au sein des Institutions publiques avec l’appui des acteurs privés mais aussi en renforçant les compétences de ces institutions à travers des workshop de formation.
In 2025, I joined a training course in automotive electrical systems, a field that I am passionate about. Thanks to this opportunity, I gained skills, self-confidence and the certainty that I am capable of succeeding.
After my training, I found an internship and started working in my profession. I faced difficulties because I am a woman, but I succeeded in overcoming all the obstacles. Today, clients use my services and I continue to learn every day.
Being a woman did not prevent me from progressing or achieving my goals. Today, I am qualified in automotive electrical systems and I can look to the future with confidence.
