What employers in French-speaking Africa ask for, measured job by job

Trouve Ton Emploi, the CAPPR's observatory, gathers every night the job ads published online and turns them into data for decisions: which occupations, which skills, which degrees.

  • 2,806 jobs online
  • 11 countries covered
  • 14 sites followed

Data updated on 26 October 2026 at 20:32 (Cotonou time)

One base, two offers

The same data foundation, presented according to what you do with it. Both offers rest on the same base: job ads published online in the French-speaking countries of West and Central Africa, collected every night, deduplicated and classified with a public method.
