Field of activity
The objective of the programme 'Employment for Sustainable Development in Africa' is to improve employment opportunities in Africa in cooperation with the private sector. The programme develops, negotiates and implements partnerships with the private sector that promote more productive and decent employment in the 9 target countries in Africa. It adopts an integrated development approach for employment promotion by developing labour supply and stimulating labour demand. Along selected value chains, pro-employment business models are promoted while vocational training and qualification are used in order to increase the employability and productivity of people in both the formal and informal labour market. This will result in new jobs, income increases and improved workplace conditions. A particular focus is placed on employment in the extractive industry (especially oil and gas) and its up and downstream sectors. The recent oil and natural gas discoveries in East Africa offer an unprecedented opportunity for economic development and employment. However, if not enough qualified workers are available, the international corporations and contractors may have to negotiate with the governments to bring in workers and services from abroad. In order to ensure that local employment is sparked, E4D will launch an innovative public-private skills development initiative in 2015 in Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda with high participation of the oil and gas industry and co-financing by the British Department for International Development (DFID). Gas exploration in Tanzania is a highly political topic and mainly dealt with at senior levels in government and private sector institutions. At the same time, donor agencies are only starting to align to the new developments and there is no existing donor coordination mechanism yet. The position requires a high level of managerial as well as senior negotiation skills in the public, private and donor environment. The position will be very much in the public domaine and such needs a high level of political sensitivity.
