Agility partners with the Clarisse Machanguana Foundation (CMF) and a local school near the Agility Logistics Park in Maputo, Mozambique. In this program Agility re-fitted a classroom and converted it into a computer lab and learning space. Agility provides resources for electrical infrastructure, furniture and related classroom resources. The classroom will be used each year by about 800 students from grades 1-12. Agility has begun the process of converting a second classroom for the same purposes to increase the scale of technology education in this school.
Agility supports International Rescue Committee (IRC) employment training programs in Cote D’Ivoire. In coordination with Ivorian NGO PRO-Jeunes, IRC provided skills development and training to 731 young people.
In one program, Agility provides classroom space at its Abijan Logistics Park, as well as computers, internet access and funding for free training. The on-site training includes life skills, ICT, entrepreneurial skills and digital marketing. The training program has multiple groups of approximately 20 students each taking classes at the Agility Training Center.
A second program provides agriculture and agribusiness training at a local community farm and includes instruction in traditional farming and fish farming, including how to prepare, build, maintain and manage productive farming operations.
The partnership between PRO-Jeunes, IRC and Agility has proved to be exceptionally effective. Due to its success, in 2023 the Ivorian government also contributed funding and helped to manage these local programs using government facilities, land and resources. IRC and Agility will continue supporting the ICT, life skills and entrepreneurial skills development program, as well as work with the agricultural skills development program in other areas.
