A Greener Future Needs More Than Green Spaces
It needs skilled people, decent work opportunities and enterprises that can turn environmental needs into sustainable livelihoods.
Across Kenya, the care and development of green spaces creates a need for practical skills in horticulture, landscaping, garden maintenance and related services. Yet the pathway from learning these skills to finding work or building a viable enterprise is not always straightforward.
Eden sees an opportunity to bring practical industry experience closer to workforce development, helping strengthen the people and capabilities that a growing green economy depends on.
- Promoting practical, market-relevant green skills
- Supporting pathways towards employment and enterprise
- Contributing to better-managed urban green infrastructure
Green Workforce Acceleration Program (GWAP)
Powering Urban Green Infrastructure Through Skilled Labor.
GWAP is an Eden initiative focused on advancing skills development and opportunities within Kenya's green economy. It aims to strengthen the connection between practical training, the needs of employers and the development of green enterprises.
Our long-term ambition is to help grow a capable network of green professionals who can contribute to quality landscaping, urban greening and sustainable green infrastructure.
