The study found out that there is positive and significai1t relationship between youth employment creation and peace building in Galkayo distiict (P value .214; Sig. 0.000: youth skills training and peace building in Galkayo (P value of 0.399 Sig. 0.000) and youth employment infonnation accessibility and peace building in Galkayo distiict (P value of 0.380 Sig. 0.000). The researcher concluded that there is close association between improvements in youth employment creation; youth skills training and employment infommtion accessibility will lead to success in peace building in Galkayo disti·ict. From the findings, the following recommendations were made; joint youth council at the entire district should be fonned in Galgayo to try to forge some unity among different clan members; effective and appealing disam1ainent package should be established by the government of Somalia in collaboration with other interested organizations in peace making; market oriented vocational and technical training skills should be freely established for youth who had dropped out of school; free education should be offered to youth to discourage school going age from dropping out of school; the government should mobilize clan leaders to appoint a committee and establish a platfom1 for discussing peace building approaches ai1d reconciliation procedures; and the government ai1cl NGOs operation in the district should look for ways of connecting skilful youth to organizations and companies for job oppo1tunities. This approach could significantly increase the number of working youth and introduce other programs that can keep youth relatively busy in income generating activities rather than engaging themselves in actions that can destabilize communities. | en_US |
