The North Africa Partnership for Economic Opportunity is a network of U.S. and North Africa business leaders, entrepreneurs and civil society leaders with a mission to foster job creation and entrepreneurship and a focus on youth. Over the next five years this network is committed to positively impacting 100,000 people.

PNB-NAPEO is locally-owned and locally-driven. Local Advisory Boards have been established in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia and are currently being formed in Libya and Mauritania. These boards identify and determine priorities and resources for their respective countries, as well as regional agenda.

NAPEO is a regional manifestation of Partners for a New Beginning (PNB): a locally-owned and locally driven initiative, with support from a global coalition of prominent business and civil society leaders.  PNB fosters partnerships that advance local priorities.

The network created by PNB-NAPEO will be the vehicle for communities in the United States and North Africa to identify, initiate and sustain projects at the Maghreb regional level to foster entrepreneurship and job creation, especially for youth.
