Change in the number of people employed or self-employed in sustainable livelihood activities for a defined period.

If percentage: • Numerator: Number of target population employed or self-employed. • Denominator: Total number of target population Data Collection methods: Secondary data analysis; Households Survey and Focus Group Discussion; Key informant interviews; Salary records; MSME/productive organisation survey and records.

• Income Generation Activities and Employment

X of affected vulnerable workers in Conakry urban area (from those Y are women) employed in sustainable livelihood activities (micro-business, small and medium enterprises) for six or more months through the intermediation programme.

Employment/self-employment sustainability should be defined (e.g. type of contract; duration of the employment/self-employment since it started -six months / one year-, number of client contracts -for self-employments/IGA-). Consider not just the access to employment (self-employment) in a quantitative way, but also in quality: job quality (work conditions) and/or beneficiaries’ self-confidence (qualitative change). Job creation might be difficult to measure unless the intervention is a long term one or it is measured for small businesses or IGA which create employment.
