Green Skills in Africa: Comparative Insights from South Africa, Guinea and Ghana
In this paper for the
European Centre for Development Policy Management, Katja van der Meer and Pauline Veron examine how South Africa, Guinea and Ghana are developing green skills. They discuss how the three countries are developing the green skills needed for an equitable and effective green transition, and the role that both the European Union and China are playing in supporting this. Their green transition unfolds amid several challenges: fragility, high levels of unemployment and dependence on coal (South Africa), extractive sectors (Guinea) and petroleum (Ghana). Although each country faces particular pressures, a common challenge is the limited capacity of education and training systems to produce the foundational and technical skills required to sustain a national green economy.
