About the Programme
Africa's population is growing rapidly, with young people forming an increasing share of the workforce. Yet job creation has not kept pace, leaving millions - particularly young women - without access to stable, dignified livelihoods due to barriers such as limited education, social norms, and unpaid care responsibilities.
At the same time, Africa's health sector is expanding and presents a powerful opportunity to create sustainable livelihood pathways. This programme focuses on transforming community-based health work into respected, viable career pathways for young people, especially women. Starting in Kenya, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, and Malawi, the programme aims to professionalise community health workers, create dignified employment, and strengthen systems - contributing to both youth livelihoods and healthier communities.
