An incubator for non-educated youth in Tripoli to mitigate violence

The President of the Traders’ Association of North Lebanon, Assad Hariri, discussed yesterday, with the Governor of the Central Bank, Riad Salameh, a new project aiming to set up an incubator for non-educated youth of Tripoli.  This new project arises amidst deteriorating economic developments in Tripoli and within the context of attempts to strengthen economic activities.  The role of the incubator is to train youth and assist them in entering the job market.  A special fund will be crated for the purpose with funding support from the Central and World Banks.  The Governor of the Central Bank indicated his support and promised to work towards overcoming any barrier that such a project would face especially since it carries the potential of mitigating violence that is prevalent amongst many of the youth in Tripoli and to transform them into active and productive elements of society.
