In recent years, FAO has implemented a number of projects to bolster decent rural employment (DRE) and to implement Dimitra Clubs (DCs) in many countries, thanks to funding provided by the Flexible Multi Partner Mechanism (FMM).

Projects focusing on increasing DRE for youth in the agri food systems of targeted countries have utilized FAO’s Integrated Country Approach (ICA), which includes advocacy and communication activities, the provision of policy and strategy advice, technical support and capacity development, the generation of knowledge and the development of partnerships. Other projects have facilitated the implementation of DCs.
