Support the government for people to find jobs

“We support the government for people to find jobs at home so that they will not be forced to leave their families behind or to accept whatever work is available just to survive.”

Source: "ILO: More job creation program needed in Yolanda-hit areas".

I think this sentence means "we support the government in helping people to find jobs at home...."

Do you agree?
Also, I feel uncomfortable with the bold phrase. Is it worded correctly?

Thanks.

Right, the phrase is not correct English. Probably it is intended to mean something like "We support the government in their efforts to help people find jobs ..."
