USAID's EQuALLS2 project delivered key research to improve OSY livelihoods in Mindanao to a wide audience of livelihood workers, including the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and other Mindanao development partners, in a forum held in Davao on October 21, 2009. The project identified and conducted the assessments that spanned Mindanao and stressed matching livelihood skills training for OSYs with current and emerging industry and market needs, incorporating entrepreneurial skills and character training in such programs, and forging industry partnerships for OSY employment or self-employment opportunities. USAID is using this information to enhance the EQuALLS2 project, which will provide workforce development skills to 35,000 OSYs from areas most affected by conflict and poverty in Mindanao by 2011.
