The overall purpose of the intervention is to improve young deaf persons’ options to enter the formal labour market and/or establish their own small business in Tanzania and thus improve their chances for decent livelihoods. While Tanzania has ratified all relevant international conventions on human rights and the rights of people with disabilities and has its own valuable legislation, nothing much has happened in real life. Thus, the intervention will focus on know-your-rights and offer skills workshops for young deaf persons, who will also be supported in job-seeking activities or business establishment and planning; advocacy campaigns will target employers, vocational training centres and duty bearers at the national level and in three target regions, i.e., Iringa, Mtwara and Tanga. Guidelines will be drafted to support employers and training centres.
