Green Jobs Innovation Hub

Empowering Youth, Driving Innovation, Building a Sustainable Zimbabwe

WHAT IS THE GREEN JOBS INNOVATION HUB?

The Green Jobs Innovation Hub Blog is a premier cross sectoral – youth led and eco-entrepreneurial focused platform that is the YCA4SOTRA project’s documentation platform, with focus on green economic opportunities to promote environmentally sustainable policy environment.

The Green Jobs Innovation Hub is both intended as a concrete pathway for youth to receive financial, technical and moral support to innovate and contribute to solutions for green jobs and an increased uptake of digital tools but it is also intended as a vehicle through which the youth-led organisations can build positive relationships with the private and the public sector over a shared engagement in a joint cause, and use these relationships to advocate for improved access to the digital space and an enabling environment for green jobs in Zimbabwe. The Action will facilitate engagement meetings and networking events where the youth can leverage these relationships
