RESULTS:

  • Training, coaching and consulting of 15-30 professionals who work with and for people with a large distance to the labor market (youth without education, people with disabilities, drug addicts etc.), coming from the above mentioned Suriname institutions/semi-government;

  • Knowledge development and institutional strengthening of at least 10-15 social, civil society organizations in Suriname to strengthen reintegration activities and cooperation;

  • Establishment of an expert network between job coaches (people participating in the project), peer consultants (job coaches with an additional task) and external experts (psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, etc.);

  • Labor integration for 30 people, through the realization of work to capacity for people with disabilities, within the regular labor market;

  • Promote cooperation among Surinamese institutions, between institutions and government, between institutions and employers and institutions and the Netherlands;

  • Realize a database with profiles of potential employers and participants for matching the target group on the labor market;

  • Knowledge portal for strengthening and sharing discussions (forum), experiences, events, methods and tools;

  • Membership and acceptance of Surinamese service providers in global network of Workability and special membership of Workability Europe;

  • Information campaign aimed at Surinamese employers for awareness and involvement in the issue of labor integration of people with disabilities.

On September 1, 2008, the application was submitted for the development of coaches in the Surinamese society. Collaboration with 14 civil society organizations and the 'Drie Ankers' foundation was established, because it appeared that there was a great need for well-trained coaches in Surinamese society to carry out reintegration activities for people in Suriname with a distance to the labor market. This will mainly reduce the number of unemployed people.

CAUSE:

Structural sustainable development and institutional strengthening of Surinamese reintegration activities for people distant from the labor market using and strengthening the existing social infrastructure and knowledge institutions.
