About the Enterprise for Peace Scholarship of the Dutch MFA:

The lack of employment opportunities for young people, as a result of the 2008 global economic crisis and the youth bulge being experienced in many countries around the world, is considered as one of the most significant security and development challenges we face.

The consequences for young people such as unemployment, inequality, marginalization and disaffection are far-reaching but wider communities also suffer from the effects of high levels of youth unemployment; including poverty, violent extremism, political instability, drugs and crime.

The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs prioritises improving young people’s prospects in a number of developing countries and fragile states by encouraging local entrepreneurs and creating jobs.
