An Initiative supported by the Ministry of the Netherlands for Foreign Affairs - The consortium A-Excellence, Match Excellence and Mon Miroir has been selected as of one of the 4 implementing partners in Morocco of the CFYE - Challenge Fund for Youth employment.

The goal of the Challenge Fund for Youth Employment, deployed by Palladium Group, is to support robust and innovative ideas for creating or improving decent work prospects for youth, especially young women. For the purposes of this program, youth is defined as between the ages of 15 – 35. Over the next 7 years, CFYE will work with selected Implementing Partners across the Middle East, North Africa, Sahel/West Africa and the Horn of Africa to tackle the challenge of youth underemployment and unemployment in these regions. Our projects will enable 230,000 young people to access new or better employment, including wage or salary jobs, or self-employment.

The consortium A-Excellence, Match Excellence and Mon Miroir are fighting the persistent youth unemployment in Morocco through employability and matching programs. Match Excellence is a growing Moroccan Edtech SME with clients across the MENA Region, focusing on helping talent design their careers and matching them with meaningful jobs. A-Excellence aims to provide underprivileged youth in the same region with the training, inspiration, network and mentorship needed to help them realize and reach their full personal and professional potential. Mon Miroir is a strategy and management consulting firm, passionate about the education sector and has contributed to its development for over 14 years. Through this project, the collaborative organisations aim to create and connect youth with employment opportunities but will also aim to create a new paradigm in how the transition from education into the job market is being done in Morocco.
