The European Union (EU) and its development partners, with the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (WRCC), last Tuesday launched the ‘Boosting Green Employment and Enterprise Opportunities in Ghana’ (GrEEn) project in Kumasi.
The €20-million project aims at promoting green, circular and climate-resilient local economies and is projected to create more than 5,000 jobs.
It is mainly financed by the European Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) for Africa, with contributions from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF).
The project is targeted at the youth, women and returning migrants of the Western and Ashanti regions who will be trained in green businesses and given financial support to set up their business.
