Despite high and increasing unemployment rates, employers in the region are facing difficulties to find workers whose competences and skills fit their employment needs. The study first surveys international best practices for the delivery of employment services and then reviews the provision of these services in a selected group of countries in the MENA region, with a focus on public provision through existing public employment agencies. Findings indicate public agencies in the region face many challenges for the effective delivery of employment programs, namely poor administrative capacity,system fragmentation, lack of governance and accountability, regulation bottlenecks, and flaws in program design.In order to help unemployed workers to obtain the competences required by available jobs, this study proposes a reform agenda based on the development of strong partnerships between public agencies, public providers, and employers for the design and implementation of flexible employment programs that respond to real employment needs. These partnershipss will need to be developed with strong governance mechanisms that make beneficiaries, private providers, and firms accountable for making sure that investments in employment programs lead to employment insertion. The book is directed to policy makers, practitioners, economists, and anyone interested in international best practices to promote a more effective delivery of employment services. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aEmployment agencies$zMiddle East 606 $aEmployment agencies$zAfrica, North 606 $aUnemployed youth$zMiddle East 606 $aUnemployed youth$zAfrica, North 615 0$aEmployment agencies 615 0$aEmployment agencies 615 0$aUnemployed youth 615 0$aUnemployed youth 676 $a362.71 700 $aAngel-Urdinola$b Diego F$01695236 701 $aKuddo$b Arvo$f1954-$01724918 701 $aSemlali$b Amina$01724919 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814417703321 996 $aBuilding effective employment programs for unemployed youth in the Middle East and North Africa$94127381 997 $aUNINA
