About the campaign

Millions of African youth aspire to be responsible and productive citizens who can help develop their communities. Add your name to help make that happen.

JobNowAfrica Campaign, is a broad-based platform of Civil Society Organizations, young people, women, men and people from all walks of life in Africa who support an urgent call to action on creation of decent jobs in Africa. We recognize that job creation is a joint effort by Governments, public sector, private sectors and individuals.

The overall goal of the Campaign is to advocate for key policy commitments and reforms that will create 15 million decent jobs annually in sub-Saharan Africa by 2025. This call is the result of solution oriented consultations that were held across the different regions across the continent with youth networks, think tanks, CSOs, businesses, and industry experts to address the lack of quality jobs in Africa.

The campaign reflects African youth’s desire to thrive and realize their full potential, and our views and aspirations for decent employment creation by dismantling structural barriers on the continent with the cooperation of national and subnational governments.
