CJD International brings together 16 CJD countries in 5 geographical areas :
West Africa, Europe, Maghreb, Indian Ocean and North America.
OUR ACTIONS

Have a positive impact on society
Contribute significantly to the resolution of global issues such as climate change, economic inequality, access to education and health, by mobilising the resources of CJDI members. Encourage future generations of entrepreneurs to adopt responsible and sustainable practices.
THE CJD HUB:
Become the leading global platform where JDs and responsible entrepreneurs connect, share knowledge, exchange ideas and collaborate on international projects.
THE CJD WAY OF BEING
Influence civil society and institutions. Gather around the CJD’s values to have political, economic and commercial influence on an international scale by advocating an environment favourable to entrepreneurship and by relying on former international JDs.
Support countries in their development
