Zambia Green Jobs Programme Brochure

The Zambia Green Jobs Programme is premised on a human and environment rights-based as well as a value chain development approach for improving the sustainable livelihoods of rural and urban families through private sector development and sustainable housing. The Programme is implemented by government ministries and institutions, financial institutions, business development service providers, associations of small scale contractors and other private sector players in Zambia's building construction industry. Technical assistance is provided by a consortium of UN agencies, namely FAO, UNEP, UNCTAD and ITC led by the ILO and jointly working together as One UN with financial support from the Government of Finland.
