Orange Middle East and Africa, in partnership with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), have announced the launch of the “Master Repair” project, an ambitious initiative aimed at enhancing youth employability and promoting the creation of micro-enterprises in the fields of electronic repair and sustainable technologies. This project, a result of the ongoing collaboration between Orange Digital Center and GIZ, addresses the growing challenges of employment and the circular economy.
Aimed at young people from Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, and Egypt, this project provides specialized training in the repair of electronic devices as well as the installation and maintenance of solar panels or optical fiber. By targeting young women and people with disabilities, this partnership seeks to create decent jobs and develop sustainable skills for beneficiaries, particularly in the regions.
By working closely with local stakeholders, Orange Middle East and Africa and GIZ reaffirm their commitment to inclusive economic development and sustainable innovation. The “Master Repair” project is implemented under the develoPPP programme, commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and supported by the special initiative Decent Work for a Just Transition. This initiative is part of the mission of Orange Digital Center to promote digital inclusion and support the development of digital skills for employment, especially among youth and women.
Elisabeth Richter, Programme Manager, develoPPP for Jobs
I am delighted to be launching this new project. Technical training, especially on the technologies of the future, enables us to strengthen the employability of young people and contribute to the creation of decent jobs in 4 countries. The inclusion of persons with disabilities is particularly important. The develoPPP programme thus focuses on integrating the most vulnerable people into the labour market, in line with the feminist development policy of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Jérôme Hénique, Chief Executive Officer, Orange Middle East and Africa
This partnership with GIZ illustrates our commitment to supporting young people, especially women and persons with disabilities, towards sustainable professional integration and a more inclusive economic future. Together, we invest in skills that not only create opportunities but also strengthen the foundations of a circular and resilient economy for tomorrow.
