Background
The Boosting Green Employment and Enterprise Opportunities in Ghana (GrEEn) project is a four-year action from the European Union, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF).

Implemented by SNV and UNCDF in partnership with the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, the GrEEn project is a 4-year project which aims at creating green jobs and promoting the growth of the green and circular economy in Ghana by improving skills development and increasing access to finance for youth, Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs), women and returning migrants.

GrEEn is funded under the European Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) for Africa with a total contribution of EUR 20,600,000 from the EU, SNV, UNCDF and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Ghana. GrEEn has 4 result areas: UNCDF focuses on Results 1 and 3, while SNV focuses on Results 2 and 4.

1. Supporting growth of local economies and creating short-term job opportunities through cash for work schemes for green and climate resilient infrastructure;
2. Improving the ability of women, youth and returning migrants to take advantage of green job and entrepreneurship opportunities in their local economies;
3. Increasing access to and use of financial services to support cash-for-work beneficiaries and MSMEs to meet the needs of youth, women and returning migrants while also benefiting their local communities;
4. Supporting and speeding the growth of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the green and circular economy so they can offer decent, fair and sustainable jobs to youth, women and returning migrants.
