Invest for Jobs is inviting applications for the Facility
Investing for Employment (IFE) in Tunisia to support the creation of decent
employment opportunities in Africa (long-term, full time jobs). It does so by
offering co-financing grants for new investment projects with a high job
creation impact.
IFE provides funding to companies, non-profit organisations and
public partners to overcome obstacles to investments. IFE contributes
cofinancing grants for employment-enhancing investments, accompanying advisory
services and the set-up of investments, such as environmental and social impact
assessments. This will remove barriers to creating additional and better jobs
in the private sector.

€10 million to co-finance four types of projects:
- Public Infrastructure for job
creation (up to 90% of the cost)

creation by companies (up to 25% of the total cost)
