Africa

While economies in Africa experience different levels of economic growth and development, overall the region is increasingly attracting investment and experiencing growth leading to greater economic stability. The private sector, together with Employer and Business Membership Organizations (EBMOs), play a critical role in driving sustainable economic growth and generating employment. 

The Bureau for Employers' Activities (ACT/EMP) and its field specialists in Cairo, Dakar, Pretoria, and Yaoundé work at both regional and national levels to strengthen the capacity of EBMOs particularly in strategic planning, service delivery and policy advocacy. ACT/EMP's work includes a specific focus on sustainable growth through and promoting sustainable enterprises and productive employment.
