AfricaRecruit (www.africarecruit.com) was formally launched in 2002, as an offshoot of www.findajobinafrica.com that was established in 1999. AfricaRecruit is a mobilization programme of The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), and the Commonwealth Business Council. AfricaRecruit has been at the forefront of mobilising skills and human resource capacity in and outside of Africa since 2002. It also facilitates the African Diaspora towards capacity building in Africa either through skills or investment in areas such as remittances.

AfricaRecruit raises global awareness about the need for human recourse development in Africa by addressing the continent’s brain drain, advocates for policies that help to develop Africa’s human recourse capacity, formulates and implements practical programmes that help to reverse Africa’s brain drain or capitalize on the African Diaspora’s social and financial capital and provide technical assistance to individuals and organisations involved in Africa’s human resource development.  

Since its inception in year 2000, AfricaRecruit has achieved a distinguished record of, first, addressing the issue of skills capacity in Africa. Second, AfricaRecruit has organized workshops, seminars and conferences, both in and outside Africa, to link skills and development with issues and problems in the ground inside and outside Africa. Third, AfricaRecruit has produced a number of reports, data bases, working papers and position papers on skills and human resource issues, which have been used by policy makers and Overseas Development agencies as well as corporate. Fifth, and as a result of the four achievements listed above, AfricaRecruit has successfully fused itself into credible organizations, such as NEPAD, in order to enhance its capacity to reach out and collaborate with public, private and non-profit entities worldwide, for the purpose of pursuing its mission of building human capacity in Africa.
