Over 60 students from the Ramseyer Vocational Technical Institute in Ghana have graduated after completing the Green Waste Management Training Program!

Like most developing countries with rapid urbanisation, limited public training and engagement, increased waste generation, lack of recycling culture, Nigeria and Ghana are prone to face slower growth in achieving the twin transition (green and digital) in alignment with the ambitious environmental objectives of the European Green Deal and the Europe - Africa strategic partnership.

We are thrilled to announce the successful accreditation of the GreenVETAfrica program by the National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) and the completion of final assessments in Nigeria.

The GREENVETAFRICA VET Providers Meeting highlighted the program’s positive impact on participant knowledge and community engagement in green waste management.
