The Jobtech Alliance is an ecosystem-building initiative around inclusive jobtech in Africa launched in late 2021. We’re interested in digital platforms which connect people to work opportunities that build livelihoods – this includes gigmatching platforms, jobmatching, e-commerce marketplaces, and more. The Jobtech Alliance helps jobtech platforms to grow and create more jobs.
We do this through two workstreams:
Firstly, we seek to create an enabling environment which provides the conditions for entrepreneurs to build platforms which deliver quality livelihoods; this means building the knowledge base of the sector through research, community-building, and spotlighting of the sector. We also seek to grow funding for the space through curating a circle of investors, guiding conversations on sector financing, and work on policy and infrastructure critical for the sector.
Secondly, we deliver a range of acceleration activities with jobtech platforms which enable entrepreneurs to build greater scale, impact, and inclusivity in their solutions.
