With 25% unemployed, the MENA region is the hardest place for youth to find a job.
Without a job, young people in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region can't build their futures. Education For Employment (EFE) is changing this.
We are confident that youth can transform their lives and the region, if given the chance.
Through the EFE Network, we equip young women and men with the skills they need in today’s job market and link them to employment and entrepreneurship opportunities where they can succeed. EFE concretely supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda, specifically Goal 8.
EFE helps young women and men build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.
