Ghana – UNCDF / SNV – Boosting Green Employment and Enterprise Opportunities in Ghana (GrEEn)

The document provides an overview of the "Boosting Green Employment and Enterprise Opportunities in Ghana" (GrEEn) project, a four-year initiative funded by the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa. Implemented by UNCDF and SNV in collaboration with the Ghanaian Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, the project aims to create sustainable economic opportunities in the Ashanti and Western regions. By promoting green businesses and supporting youth, women, and returning migrants, GrEEn seeks to foster climate-resilient local economies and reduce irregular migration. The project focuses on areas such as waste recycling, clean cookstove production, and organic horticulture. Through a combination of grants, technical assistance, and financial inclusion efforts, GrEEn strives to enhance employability and entrepreneurship in these communities.
