Do you have a vision of how digital technology might create jobs in Africa? Digital Jobs Africa is a Rockefeller Foundation initiative that seeks to impact the lives of 1 million people in six countries in Africa by catalyzing sustainable Information and Communications Technology enabled employment opportunities for African youth who would not otherwise have an opportunity for sustainable employment.
The Foundation’s work will deliver impact at two levels—through improving the well-being of those employed, their families and communities as well as influencing broader adoption of inclusive business practices that lead to job creation for youth at scale in ICT-enabled sectors. The Digital Jobs Africa focus countries – Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa – all have dynamic and growing services sectors and offer the potential for continued ICT development.
Some key selection criteria will be:
- An action-oriented, entrepreneurial self-starter, who can work independently as well as in teams
- A Master’s degree with a minimum of 10 years professional experience, preferably in Africa as well as globally, ideally in a relevant field / institution, with experience of employing market-based solutions to address complex social and development challenges
- An understanding of trends in the ICT and Digital space and how they may play a role in the development of enterprise and jobs in Africa
- Exemplary communication skills, sound, mature judgment and integrity
