LEARNER-ORIENTED TALENT DEVELOPMENT

We focus on learner-oriented capacity development by supporting diverse youths and professionals across Africa who emerged from universities without all of the necessary skills and competencies to advance their careers in the current labour market or through entrepreneurship.

EQUITY QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY

As a guiding principle, we seek equitable access, quality and relevance, and efficiency in our investments in capacity building, by providing wide access to opportunities for skills acquisition, learning that builds skills to meet labour market demands and value-for-money in the financing and provision of training to minimize waste of resources.

PARTNERSHIPS

Our learners are at the heart of our partnerships, where we rally multiple actors in skills development. With each member performing distinctive and complementary roles, a coalition of investors (government and the private sector, including employers and private training providers) is vital to making the most of investments in employability and entrepreneurship skills training.

While the private sector provides services to enhance access and quality; invest in on-the-job training to build skills; engagement with training providers ensure courses are aligned with the needs of the sector; engaging in national social dialogue would help prioritise skills development, encourage policy reforms to create enabling environment that would ensure investments in skills succeed.
