Technical requirements: The overall objective (outcome) of the GIZ program "Employment promotion for women for the green transformation in Africa (WE4D)" is that the employment and economic situation of women, especially in companies driving the green transformation, has improved. Key outputs are: 1.) Labour market-oriented education and training, 2.) transition to the labour market, 3.) employment in value chains, 4.) competitiveness of start-ups and MSMEs and 5.) regional scaling of the approaches. WE4D"s strategy is to establish partnerships with stakeholders from the public and private sector and civil society that will improve the employment opportunities of women in companies and value chains that are driving the economic transition to an ecologically sustainable and climate-friendly business model. Opportunity-driven and demand-oriented measures will be conducted with individual partner organisation and multi-actor partnerships in the implementation countries Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and South Africa with the aim of achieving quantitative employment effects and qualitative, transformative results. The capacity development measures at micro and meso level of implementation- and employment-oriented country measures supplement reform-oriented advisory approaches of bilateral DC projects.
WE4D focuses on sectors that offer the highest possible employment effects for women and in which companies, with their products, technologies and/or services, are actively shaping the transition of the economy to an ecologically sustainable, climate-friendly business model (1. Sustainable agriculture and agricultural processing, 2. Blue economy and aquaculture, 3. Renewable energy, 4. Circular economy and waste management, including biomass, 5. Eco-tourism) and on two further sectors in which companies are developing more environmentally friendly or resource-saving business models (6. Transport/logistics, 7. Construction).
Up to now, WE4D incorporates a co-financing agreement with the EU Team Europe Initiative "Investing in Young Businesses in Africa" (TEI IYBA SEED). This initiative supports the business ecosystem and promotes a supportive business and investment climate and business culture, in particular for companies managed by young people and women. It will be implemented by the WE4D programme in Kenya and South Africa together with other European partners.
