What is TEJATI?

Transforming Economies through Jobs Activation, Technology and Innovation

The Vision

TEJATI is Kenya’s and Africa’s response to widespread unemployment, economic fragmentation, and community-level despair.

It is a transformative, multi-sectoral framework designed to activate jobs, integrate innovation, and build inclusive economies around the real lives and needs of communities.

Led by INAPS ,

TEJATI replaces traditional project-by-project models with a bold delivery ecosystem that connects ministries, counties, private sector, and communities — all working together to build jobs where people live, study, care, and trade.

Why TEJATI?

• Because 1 in every 3 youth in Africa is unemployed or underemployed

• Because millions of women labour in care, vending, and food systems with no dignity or protection

• Because innovation is often locked in labs, not translated into jobs

• Because informal economies remain excluded from national development plans

• Because caregiving is invisible, yet foundational to national productivity

• Because transformation must mean jobs, food, wellness, and dignity — for everyone

Creating the job's ecosystem is integral.

The process of tracking how the job affects the ecosystem is arguably just as important.
