Along with our global supporter The Rockefeller Foundation and premier sponsor, RTI International, 45 employers and over 300 development professionals convened in Nairobi for the first-ever Devex International Development Career Fair in Africa last week.
The rooms were packed, the energy high and the mood optimistic as organization representatives chatted with professionals about what they were looking for while attendees presented their skills and networked with fellow job seekers.
Attendees and recruiters alike remarked how even those who live in East Africa didn’t quite realize both the depth of talent in the region and the abundance of organizations working in the area.
