Intro
Do you have knowledge on and experience in the field of Private Sector Development? Are you driven by a desire to contribute to private sector development in North Africa? Do you have a good understanding of the entrepreneurial ecosystem scene in our target countries? Then Hivos is looking for you!
With its relatively young population, more and more young people each year need to find a sustainable living in North Africa. As a response to this, the Green Works programme aims to contribute to the creation of more economic opportunities for young women and men between the ages of 15 and 35 years in North Africa within the Green Economy.
Our vision is to empower young men and women to find a decent job in the Green Economy which Hivos defines as future proof. Such economies are anticipated to continue growing and will require young people to have a new skill set that is not tackled within the traditional education systems. In order to ensure that these economies are expanding in North Africa and that there is an adequate value chain supporting their growth, Hivos also aims to stimulate the formation of innovation clusters that are feeding these economies with viable business solutions.
To this end, the objectives of the programme are fourfold: (1) Innovation clusters are formed that enable businesses operating in the green and digital economies to scale (2) Business Development Support Organisations and employability hubs increase their capacities to implement job creation and private sector development activities beyond the programme support (3) Youth trained in 21st-century skills find jobs in future-proof employment economies and (4) Social enterprises operating in future-proof employment economies scale their businesses thereby creating new jobs.
Green Works is a continuation of previous programmes Hivos has been implementing in North Africa over the past five years: Mideast Creatives from 2014 to 2016, Co-Working for Sustainable Employment from 2016 to 2018 and Boosting Bottom-Up Societal Transformation (BOOST) in 2019. This collective endeavour has successfully supported more than 25 collaborative spaces in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia, and has helped to create more than 200 new businesses, scale more than 100 others and create more than 3,000 new job opportunities.
As a Project Officer Entrepreneurship support, you are responsible for the management and coordination of the technical assistance to sustainable enterprises (SEs) within the Green Works programme, implemented in Algeria, Egypt, and Tunisia.
