Partnerships for employment and support for small and medium-sized enterprises with Côte d'Ivoire

The program is part of the German special initiative Invest for Jobs, which aims to boost employment through private investment. It acts as a catalyst for economic partnerships between African and European businesses, reducing barriers to investment and structuring the Ivorian entrepreneurial ecosystem. Its approach is based on three operational levers: improving the investment climate, providing direct support to SMEs, and facilitating international economic partnerships. The ultimate goal is inclusive, private sector-led growth that generates sustainable jobs.
