🌍 How can cities turn economic flows into local value and jobs? (

On , we look at how cities can harness growing economic flows to strengthen local businesses, create jobs and expand opportunities for young people and women.

In Tanzania, Enabel works through IncluCities, part of the EU-funded SASA Green and Smart Cities programme, to strengthen local economic ecosystems by connecting entrepreneurs with skills, finance, markets, institutions and the private sector.

📍 In Mwanza, this means looking beyond the city itself. As one of Tanzania’s fast-growing cities, Mwanza can build on its position on Lake Victoria and its links to the Central Corridor to connect local businesses and value chains to wider regional markets - helping local businesses tap into regional opportunities while creating more value and jobs locally.

♻️ The city’s resources are part of that opportunity. By reusing materials that would otherwise go to waste, circular approaches can generate new economic opportunities, connect entrepreneurs to new markets and reduce pressure on the urban environment and Lake Victoria.

Because cities create more local value when they connect people, businesses and resources, and link them to wider markets and opportunities.

🌾 Growing Uganda’s barley value chain through partnership

In Uganda’s Rwenzori region, Enabel and are working with barley farmers to strengthen their technical and business skills and promote more productive, sustainable farming practices.

The first of four training modules has brought together 376 farmers in Kabarole District - 75% of the 500-farmer target. Through practical sessions, participants learned about land preparation, planting techniques and farm planning.
One encouraging result? While fewer than 10% had previously practised row planting, more than half committed to adopting it next season after learning how it can improve crop management and productivity.

🤝 This initiative is part of a broader collaboration between Enabel and AB InBev to build a more resilient, inclusive and climate-smart barley value chain. It also aims to promote responsible sourcing and improve farmers’ livelihoods.

Three more modules will cover crop nutrition and pest and disease management, harvesting and post-harvest practices, and financial literacy - giving farmers practical tools to apply throughout the growing season.

🌍 Et si nous changions de regard sur la mobilité entre l’Europe et l’Afrique ?

Pour Enabel, la mobilité humaine ne doit pas être perçue uniquement comme un enjeu migratoire, mais aussi comme une richesse pour les deux continents. Les diasporas y contribuent en reliant initiatives individuelles, investissements privés et coopération publique, au service de l’industrialisation et du développement du continent africain.

🎥 Dans cette interview réalisée par le Salon des Diasporas Noires, Jean Van Wetter - CEO of Enabel, partage sa vision d’une mobilité qui crée des opportunités pour les deux continents.

🤝 C’est cette vision que nous porterons au Salon des Diasporas Noires, dont Enabel est partenaire pour cette 3e édition, du 20 au 22 novembre à Bruxelles. Cette année, les échanges porteront sur le thème : « Remittances : moteur de l’industrialisation et du développement de l’Afrique ».

💡 ou les récits qui vous montrent comment la coopération crée des changements durables.

Dans les oasis du Sud-Est marocain, les producteur·rices de dattes font face à des revenus instables et à un accès limité aux marchés. Comment leur garantir des débouchés durables et mieux rémunérer leur production ?

Avec l’appui d’Enabel, le groupement d’intérêt économique Gie Mezguita Agdez مجموعة ذات النفع الاقتصادي مزكيطة للتمور et le Colruyt Group ont noué un partenariat commercial concret, qui permet aux dattes marocaines de rejoindre les rayons des magasins Colruyt, Okay et Bio-Planet en Belgique.

Les résultats :
✅ 180 tonnes de dattes Mejhoul achetées aux producteur·rices sur 3 ans
✅ Un prix d’achat 15 % supérieur au marché local, pour mieux rémunérer les producteur·rices
✅ Un débouché commercial garanti, qui contribue à sécuriser leurs revenus sur la durée
✅ 70 % de coûts d’électricité en moins grâce aux panneaux solaires installés dans l’unité de conditionnement des dattes.

En connectant producteur·rices et distributeurs, Enabel contribue à transformer le potentiel agricole local en opportunités économiques concrètes. 🌴

What does decent work look like in Africa’s fastest-growing sectors? And how can research help turn ambition into action?

📍 Yesterday in Brussels, Enabel and the Research Institute for Work and Society (HIVA) of KU Leuven together more than 80 researchers, policymakers, social partners, private sector representatives and practitioners to explore how to accelerate progress towards decent work and better employment opportunities in Africa.

Discussions drew on research findings and practical experiences from sectors with strong job creation potential, including critical raw materials, transport and port services, coffee and cocoa value chains, hospitality and domestic work.

Some key messages emerged from the discussions :
🔹 Research can drive change by informing policy dialogue, strengthening institutions and supporting practical solutions that reflect workers’ and employers’ realities
🔹 Lasting progress means tackling systemic barriers. Stronger institutions, market systems, value chains and incentives for public and private actors are key to turning growth into decent work
🔹 The private sector is essential, but investment has the greatest impact when it promotes inclusion, strengthens local enterprises and expands opportunities for women and young people
🔹 Job creation alone is not enough. Economic transformation must also improve working conditions, labour rights, social protection and access to skills development

💡 The conference provided an opportunity to bridge research, policy and practice, strengthen partnerships, and identify ways towards more inclusive, productive and sustainable employment in Africa.

🌍 Critical minerals: transparency, traceability and local value creation must go hand in hand.

How can Europe secure its critical mineral supply chains while ensuring that resource-rich countries and local communities benefit from the value they generate?

This question was at the heart of two recent discussions in Brussels, both attended by Jean Van Wetter - Director Enabel : the closing panel of the EITI Conference and the conference organised by International Peace Information Service and Enabel on building responsible and traceable EU critical mineral supply chains.

🔎 From extraction to processing and technology, transparency must extend across the entire value chain. And responsible sourcing must go hand in hand with decent work, human rights, environmental protection and local economic development - including for artisanal and small-scale mining communities.

🤝 Enabel helps bridge the gap between Europe’s strategic needs and development priorities in producer countries, working towards mineral supply chains that create value beyond the extraction site.
