National Strategy for the Promotion of Green Jobs (SNEV)

The National Strategy for the Promotion of Green Jobs (SNEV) serves as a reference framework for green jobs in a resilient economy. It focuses on strengthening the legislative, institutional and regulatory framework; creating green job opportunities; building human capacities; developing an appropriate financing policy; advocacy; and setting up mechanisms for monitoring and sustainability. The SNEV strategy was implemented through the PACEV programme which enables the promotion of inclusive entrepreneurship that is more open to youth and women (especially the heads of poor, low-income households). In particular, it promotes and develops new sectors for green jobs creation, such as distributing and maintaining mobile kiosks with solar panels, a drinking water production sector, and a sector recycling energy-efficient lamps. It also reinforces and consolidates existing sectors, such as urban and rural waste valorization, aquaculture, sustainable agriculture and forestry.
