What we do

Agility Global partners with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and local NGO PRO-Jeunes to train youth in Côte d’Ivoire.

At the Abidjan Logistics Park, Agility Global provides classrooms, computers, internet access, and funding for free training programs in life skills, ICT, entrepreneurship, and digital marketing.

Past projects include a community farm program that trained youth in agriculture and fish farming, equipping them to build and manage productive operations. Its success prompted the Ivorian government to join in 2023, contributing funding, land, and facilities to expand the initiative.

 

About

International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crises—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. In Cote d’Ivoire, the IRC provides vital support to Ivorians who continue to suffer the effects of years of violent civil war and economic unrest.
