Economy and Jobs: Building a Stronger Future for All
Gabon is entering a new chapter of economic transformation — one where jobs, entrepreneurship,
and inclusive growth are central to national development. With a strong focus on youth
employment, agricultural revitalization, infrastructure investment, and digital innovation, the
government is working to lay the foundation for a resilient, modern economy that serves all
Gabonese.
Agricultural Development: Reviving the Land, Feeding the Nation
Gabon’s soil holds immense potential. With new focus on agricultural modernization, the
government is working to unlock rural productivity and turn farming into a real business
opportunity for youth and communities. By supporting access to land, equipment, and training, the
goal is to reduce food imports, boost local production, and create jobs along the entire agricultural
value chain. Empowering small-scale producers and young farmers will help stimulate rural
economies and reduce urban migration. From field to market, agriculture is becoming a true pillar
of the national economy.
Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship
Unemployment, particularly among the youth, is one of the country’s most urgent challenges. In
response, targeted employment programs are being launched across various sectors, providing
opportunities for training, self-employment, and job placement. Support is being offered to young
entrepreneurs, helping them turn ideas into viable businesses. These initiatives are not only
reducing joblessness, but also nurturing a culture of creativity and initiative across the country
Infrastructure as a Job Engine
Investing in roads, bridges, housing, and energy networks is not only improving quality of life — it
is creating thousands of jobs. Large-scale infrastructure projects are providing immediate
employment while also laying the groundwork for long-term economic growth. From construction
to logistics and maintenance, these investments are generating work and building the foundations of
a modern nation.
Digitalisation: Connecting Gabon to the World
The digital economy is opening new doors for Gabonese citizens. As internet access expands and
digital tools become more accessible, opportunities are growing in areas such as online services, ecommerce, creative industries, and remote work. By connecting Gabon to regional and international
markets, digitalisation is enabling new forms of entrepreneurship, especially for the youth and
informal sector. With the right tools, every citizen can take part in the global economy — without
leaving home.
An Inclusive Economy for Every Gabonese
True development leaves no one behind. Gabon’s economic reforms are focused on broadening
access to resources and opportunities — including women, youth, rural communities, and the
informal sector. New measures are being implemented to support small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs), improve access to credit, and simplify administrative procedures. The goal is
clear: a fair and inclusive economy where everyone has the means to grow and prosper.
Access to Global Financial Systems
One of the most critical steps toward economic empowerment is access to modern and international
financial systems. Whether it’s receiving payments, making secure transactions, or joining the
formal economy, new financial tools are being introduced to help citizens and businesses connect
more easily with the world. This inclusion will not only boost productivity and savings but also
foster innovation and economic independence for all.
Gabon’s economy is being reimagined
Gabon’s economy is being reimagined — not only to grow, but to empower. Jobs are being
created, businesses are being supported, and every citizen is being given the tools to build their own
future. Together, we are laying the foundation for a stronger, fairer, and more resilient national
economy
