The Social Employment Fund is a fresh and innovative way of harnessing the power of cross-sector partnerships within South Africa. The Fund puts the unemployed, particularly youth, to work through civil-society partners. This work serves communities, solves problems and activates self-worth within our South African brothers and sisters.
Social employment is an important part of the social economy strategy. It actively tackles the mass unemployment issue by supporting a wide range of social and economic interventions.
The Fund, managed by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) works with 37 Strategic Implementing Partners (SIPs), each operating in a variety of thematic areas such as Community Health and Caregiving, Gender-Based Violence, Digital Inclusion, Food security and nutrition, Education, Early Childhood Development, Greening and Environment, Placemaking, and Arts and Culture.
