Who we are
Activating 30 Million Jobs in the
Green Economy in Africa by 2033
Jacob’s Ladder Africa (JLA) is a Pan-African catalytic integrator with a mission to activate 30 million jobs in the African green economy by 2033.
To achieve sustainable impact at scale, we partner to co-create and implement programmes that adopt a systemic approach to skilling youth and women, enabling them to gain access to sustainable livelihoods, and we influence the green economy ecosystem in Africa through advocacy and research.
Through a whole-of-system approach across supply and demand pathways, JLA connects skills development, market linkages, and policy interventions into one coherent engine for change.
