The GEMS2 and GEMS4 projects focused on construction and real estate, and wholesale and retail trade, respectively. The projects were active in various urban centers, including Lagos and Abuja. All of the GEMS projects reported on their job creation effects.

MSA supported the development of monitoring frameworks to track results, including how the GEMS2 and GEMS4 projects could measure job creation. MSA supported project start-up by designing and delivering training on market facilitation to staff and partners and supporting the development of project implementation templates. We also conducted market analysis, designed intervention pilots, supported their implementation, and developed monitoring frameworks to track results.
