About Us

Jobs for Africa is a Swiss registered foundation whose main objective is to promote job creation, skills development and entrepreneurship for the youth in Africa. In recognition of the facts that the private sector is the creator of jobs and that governments provide an enabling environment for enterprises to be created and developed, Jobs for Africa seeks to promote private-public partnerships on youth employment.
