About the Program

The Passport to Earning (P2E) program is a collaborative initiative between UNICEF and CSC Academy aimed at empowering youth in India by providing them with essential digital and financial literacy skills. The program targets young individuals aged 14-29 years and seeks to mobilize them through CSC Academy’s extensive Village Level Entrepreneur (VLE) network to enroll in specialized courses designed by UNICEF.

Objective of SOP

This SOP outlines the dos and don’ts for VLEs participating in the UNICEF P2E program to ensure efficient program implementation, compliance with guidelines, and maximization of payments based on genuine learner certifications.

Program Criteria

• Target Registration: Each selected VLE can register a maximum of 500 unique learners. These registrations must be authenticated through Aadhaar and mobile numbers to prevent duplication.
• State Cap: A total of 10,000 registrations is allowed from Uttar Pradesh under this project.
• Demographic Requirement: At least 50% of learners should be women/girls.

• Conduct outreach activities to inform and mobilize the target youth group (14-29 years) about the program.

2. Registration and Authentication

• Assist youth with the P2E registration process.
• Use the CSC Academy portal for Aadhaar authentication.
• Redirect authenticated youth to the UNICEF portal for course enrollment.

3. Follow Registration Limits

• Stick to the 500 registrations per VLE limit.
• Verify learners’ age (14-29 years) and Aadhaar/mobile number to prevent duplication.

4. Ensure Genuine Course Completion

• Regularly monitor learners’ progress to ensure timely certification.

5. Monitor Progress

Don’ts

1. Do Not Exceed Registration Limit

• Do not register more than 500 learners.
• Learners not registered through the CSC portal with Aadhaar authentication will not be eligible for payment.

3. Don’t Expect Payment Without Certification

• Payments are only made for learners who complete the course and receive certification.
• Multiple course completions by the same learner will count as one completion for payment.

4. Avoid Misleading Learners

5. Do Not Share Aadhaar or Mobile Numbers
