Dignified Jobs Collaborative

“The Dignified Jobs Collaborative (DJC) is a global Community of Practice working to influence capital flows toward job creation for people living in extreme poverty.

Founded by Upaya Social Ventures, the DJC is rooted in the conviction that dignified jobs are the most powerful and sustainable pathway out of poverty. It builds on Upaya’s deep commitment to rigorous impact measurement — now amplified through cutting-edge, AI-driven analytics that unlock new insights and accelerate capital mobilization.

Through this pioneering approach, the DJC is building a robust evidence base to direct more funding to underinvested entrepreneurs who are creating inclusive, job-rich economies in the world’s most overlooked communities.”
