Abstract

The global transition to a low-carbon economy demands the increased delivery of green skills, yet technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems in Africa struggle to meet this need. This landscape analysis, by the Center for Global Development and IREX, aims to identify “investment-ready” TVET providers in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, and Morocco that are capable of scaling green skills training for local and international markets. Drawing on a literature review, field visits, and stakeholder interviews, the landscape analysis identifies nine high-performing providers – mainly public-private partnerships and utility-based Centres of Excellence – delivering industry-aligned, employment-driven training. To accelerate green skills development, support international labour mobility, and advance equitable participation in the green transition, donors and national governments should invest in these providers and help scale their models. This agenda is particularly urgent when considering the challenges facing Africa: a demographic youth bulge, increasing unemployment rates, and a scarcity of workers to support Africa’s green transition. The paper concludes with actionable opportunities for international donors and national governments to invest in scalable, sustainable green-skilled migration partnerships.
