Problem
Labor markets in many low- and middle‑income countries fail to recognize skills acquired through informal work, creating barriers for large segments of the youth workforce and limiting economic inclusion.
Solution
Tabiya provides an open‑source digital public infrastructure that enables governments, NGOs, and job platforms to capture, standardize, and match both formal and informal skillsets. Its modular stack includes Horizon for job‑skill matching, an Inclusive Livelihoods Taxonomy for defining skill profiles, a classifier that maps skills to occupations, and Compass, a guidance tool for jobseekers. Organizations can integrate these components into existing systems or deploy them as standalone solutions, creating transparent pathways to employment. By using open standards and shared data models, Tabiya reduces reliance on costly proprietary tools and facilitates data sharing across institutions, improving market efficiency and equity.
