Abstract: This landscape analysis by the Center for Global Development and IREX identifies investment-ready technical and vocational education and training (TVET) providers across five African countries, including Kenya, that are capable of scaling green skills training for local and international markets. The study draws on literature reviews, field visits, and stakeholder interviews to identify nine high-performing providers, mainly public-private partnerships and utility-based Centres of Excellence, delivering industry-aligned, employment-driven training in renewable energy, electricity, and energy efficiency. The analysis addresses Africa's challenges of youth unemployment and the critical need for green-skilled workers to support the continent's transition to a low-carbon economy, concluding with actionable recommendations for donors and governments to invest in scalable partnerships that advance equitable participation in the green transition.
