At Community Jameel, economic transformation is an integral part of many of our programmes. We support job-seekers, entrepreneurs and small business owners to achieve sustainable livelihoods and to grow.

With services ranging from recruitment and microfinance to a suite of digital tools, we provide advice and support for both individuals and businesses to thrive in the modern world.

Our past Livelihoods initiatives include D-Lab at MIT, which works with people around the world to develop and advance collaborative approaches and practical solutions to global poverty challenges. Through our support in 2011, the following programmes were launched: the Scale-Ups social entrepreneurship fellowship, the Harvest Fuel Initiative, the Practical Impact Alliance, the Scaling Development Ventures conference, and much of D-Lab research programme.
