This presentation summarises the key findings of the global landscape assessment of Market Systems Development for Employment (MSD4E) framework, conducted in 2023-24.
It provides an analysis of 53 interventions across various regions, focusing on waged and self-employment opportunities in non-agricultural sectors.
The report explores key models and challenges according to different employment objectives: job creation, access to jobs (both skills development and job matching), and job quality.
It reflects on successes, challenges and evidence gaps in employment interventions while emphasising the importance of systemic change and sustainability.
The presentation includes links to the intervention summaries themselves, which are hosted in the MSD4E Interventions Library. It also offers actionable recommendations for donors, implementers, and policymakers to enhance employment outcomes.
