Lecture - Building and Implementing a Green Skills Strategy (Capstone)
This capstone module brings together insights from all previous modules to support participants in designing, justifying and implementing a green skills strategy tailored to African organisational realities. It focuses on moving from understanding the business case to action, addressing workforce planning, investment decisions, partnerships and performance measurement. Participants apply economic, productivity, inclusion and competitiveness principles to develop a practical green skills roadmap aligned with Agenda 2063, national development plans and organisational priorities. By the end of the module, learners produce a real-world green skills strategy or investment proposal suitable for executive, board or donor consideration.
