CFYE Digital Jobs Study

Commissioned by the Challenge Fund for Youth Employment (CFYE), New Silk Roads conducted an in-depth research project, “Digital Jobs and Women in the MENA Region.” The study explored how digitally-enabled jobs can create sustainable employment opportunities for women across Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, and Morocco. Leveraging its expertise in qualitative research and regional insights, New Silk Roads worked closely with CFYE’s portfolio of impact-driven organisations to examine barriers to workforce participation, gender dynamics, and the role of ecosystem actors. By engaging with diverse stakeholders, including NGOs, governments, and private sector entities, the project delivered actionable insights and recommendations to foster inclusive economic growth and empower women in the digital economy across the MENA region.
