🌿 Après avoir géré plusieurs entreprises pendant de nombreuses années, Macoumba DIAGNE a fondé Proplast Industrie en 2010. Située au #Sénégal, cette entreprise de recyclage transforme les déchets plastiques en produits de valeur. À l’origine, Proplast était spécialisée dans la production de granulés pour l’industrie plastique. En 2019, l’entreprise a développé ses activités pour produire des meubles en plastique résistants, ouvrant de nouveaux marchés et créant des emplois durables. 🤝 Grâce au co-financement d’#InvestforJobs, Proplast a fait l’acquisition d’une fraiseuse à commande numérique. « Nous pouvons utiliser cette machine numérique haute précision pour produire des meubles de haute qualité en grande quantité », explique M. Diagne. Grâce à ce partenariat, Proplast a créé 60 nouveaux emplois et prévoit de poursuivre son expansion. 🌍 Pour la suite, M. Diagne estime que Proplast pourrait devenir la première entreprise de recyclage au Sénégal dans les cinq prochaines années. « Notre objectif est de créer 360 emplois et d’ouvrir un nouveau site dont les processus seront optimisés, tout en garantissant des normes de production de qualité supérieure », déclare-t-il. 👉 Vous pouvez lire l’entretien complet avec Macoumba Diagne ici : https://lnkd.in/eWKAfGby

🎉 Together with our partners, the UN-Habitat’s Urban Electric Mobility Initiative (UEMI) gGmbH and local companies in the e-mobility sector, we launched the “Boosting E-mobility Jobs in Africa” (BOOST) project at a kick-off event in Accra, #Ghana. The project aims to foster cleaner and more sustainable transport systems in Ghana, #Morocco and #Rwanda. 🔋 The BOOST project will provide structured training programmes for students and professionals in order to equip them with the skills needed in the growing #emobility sector. The courses will focus on battery technology, charging infrastructure, and #digital mobility services. 🚀 By developing the skills and capacity of the local workforce, 250 new good #jobs will be created for young people and women in Ghana’s e-mobility ecosystem. Once the pilot project has been successfully completed, it can be extended to other partner countries.

🤝 We have recently signed a joint workplan with International Labour Organization to create decent #jobs in #Ghana's textile & apparel, shea, and SME sectors. 🎯 Most Ghanaians are working in the informal sector and many of them have neither received a vocational training nor do they benefit from social security. The new programme will therefore offer trainings on occupational health and safety, production and quality management.  We’re looking forward to a fruitful cooperation! #InvestforJobs

🏗️ #BreakingGrounds, #BuildingDreams: The project “Female Talents in Construction” was launched on 24 April in Accra, #Ghana.  🧰 In collaboration with the Ghana TVET Service and private sector companies, we aim to address the under-representation of women in the #construction sector and to bridge the lack of practical experience between academia and industry.  🚀 250 young graduates, with a focus on women, will be equipped with industry-relevant skills for employment. They will participate in a training programme certified by the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Ghana (AHK Ghana), and at least 150 of them will be placed in good #jobs upon successful completion.
