The disconnect between Ajira Digital Program and job market

Some of the courses offered under the government’s Ajira Digital Program may not be relevant in the job market, according to a new study that shows how political power is wielded through these centres.

The study by non-profit organisation Siasa Place in partnership with Friedrich Naumann Foundation and Fuatilia Ahadi reveals that in some cases, admission into the programme is controlled by local leaders such as MPs or their affiliates.
