The SIB aims to employ vulnerable individuals in formal jobs and support them in retaining those jobs (ideally for 6 months but at least for 3 months). The SIB supports a range of employment measures, including soft and hard skill training, psychosocial support, socio-occupational orientation, and intermediation services for job placement and retention. The intervention was originally designed by ACDI VOCA, Fundación ANDI, and Fundación Corona.
Target population
Individuals not formally employed at the start of the program, aged 18-40, and who had not participated in employment programs launched by the Municipality of Cali in the last 2 years. Participants also had to meet one of the following requirements: score below 41.74 on the Beneficiary Selection System for Social Programs (SISBEN), belong to Red Unidos or Gestores (government programs for particularly vulnerable communities), or be victims of displacement due to armed conflict.
INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices. Please also give input via the INDIGO Data Definitions Improvement Tool and INDIGO Feedback Questionnaire.
