Africa

"The opportunities presented through IOE membership will help us achieve an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens, representing a dynamic force in the international arena as envisioned in the AU Agenda 2063 and the Abidjan Declaration adopted at the 14th ILO Africa Regional Meeting in December 2019.  IOE’s support to members should help us address the emerging challenges and seize opportunities arising from the pandemic so as build resilient and sustainable enterprises able to create wealth and job in Africa. I am greatly inspired by this role and will work with my colleagues to contribute towards transforming Africa into the global powerhouse of the future through an inclusive and sustainable development."


Jacqueline Mugo, IOE Regional Vice-President for Africa
