Creating high-productivity jobs for Africa's next generation
We catalyse organisations in export manufacturing and international labour mobility to boost incomes for Africans.
Total capital we aim to mobilise across both pillars
Income lift from subsistence farming to export manufacturing
Income lift from low-income to high-income country mobility
Target cost per Doubled Consumption Year (DCY)
The most cost-effective way to end poverty in Africa is to move people into high-productivity jobs.
Two mechanisms do this at scale, and the evidence base for both is overwhelming.
Export Manufacturing
Moving workers from subsistence farming to value-added manufacturing raises household income ~5× and upgrades skills, infrastructure, and the tax base with it.
International Labour Mobility
Moving a worker from a low-income country to a high-income country raises earnings 5–30x: the single largest income gain available anywhere in development economics.
