In Zimbabwe, 2/3 of the country’s population lives in rural areas

2/3 of the population are below the age of 25 years.

The Zimbabwe Green Jobs Assessment Report (2021) estimates that by 2035 there could be an additional 350,000 green jobs specifically created by renewable energy policies.

MFA aims to create more formal employment by encouraging hands-on experience so we are ready for a transition to the green economy.

“We can’t roll out e-mobility if we continue to work in silos. [Mobility for Africa] is building local skills and developing the practical skills we need to transition to green mobility. They have massive potential for job creation” says Shantha Bloemen, MFA’s founder and CEO.

Electric mobility provides a great developmental potential for Africa including the creation of “green jobs”; providing additional employment opportunities to assemble and manufacture vehicles and be part of the lithium -ion battery value chain.
