Together, we spark
growth opportunities

In order to create sustainable jobs, training opportunities and good working conditions, we bring together the private sector, academia and public administration. The Special Initiative on Training and Job Creation works together with companies and investors as well as with universities and vocational schools, chambers of commerce, associations and civil society.

The two largest organisations implementing Invest for Jobs are Deutsche Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and KfW Development Bank (KfW) via the facility Investing for Employment.

Other important partners are:
- the development organisation sequa,
- the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD),
- Engagement Global
- and the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB).

Many African markets are dynamic and vibrant: a young population, the growing availability of labour and skilled workers as well as the integration into global value chains offer attractive opportunities for companies. If you want to invest and are confronted with obstacles, we can assist you with advice, contacts and financial support.

Good things happen when the public and private sector pull together. Assuming fair play, we invest when you invest. And: the project must be beneficial to your company as well as to other companies and interested parties in the partner countries. Current partner countries are Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal and Tunisia.
