You can build the best platform in the world… but if women can’t enter, stay, or thrive on it, something’s missing.

That’s the hidden gap in jobtech across Africa. And we built a framework to help fix it.

As we kick off 2026, here’s a quick refresher on jobtech; the digital platforms shaping how millions of Africans earn, learn, and grow their livelihoods. 🧵

Worker enablement tools give people verified identities, reputations, rights, benefits, and data-driven insights—helping them navigate work more safely and successfully.

So we mapped the 7 Dimensions of Platform Inclusivity, a practical framework for builders who want gender equity and stronger platform performance.

Join us next month to learn how to use it to make your platform more inclusive: luma.com/49its93t

Inclusion isn’t a moral argument, it’s a growth strategy.

And for Africa’s jobtech platforms, that strategy is overdue for a rethink.

A 🧵

We’ll dig into:

- How platform design choices exclude (and include) women

- What “inclusive by default” actually means

- Why inclusion isn’t charity — it’s ROI

- Practical shifts founders can make now

If you’re building or backing a digital platform in Africa, this one’s for you.

Inclusion is a market opportunity, not a side project.

What an evening at the Lagos Jobtech Meetup!

We explored how AI is reshaping work in Africa. The big takeaway: Africa must build on its own data and apply AI in operations to unlock real impact.
