The course is composed of six modules that cover different aspects of green technologies, including the design, implementation, financing and policy themes around them. These modules are carefully selected with the intention of equipping owners and managers of African micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) with the latest knowledge in the theory and practice of green technologies. The course will include lectures that provide trainees with a comprehensive overview of relevant concepts and analytical tools, critically assess relevant policy developments, and introduce best practices for developing and implementing green innovations. This will be backed by interactive sessions through group activities, workshops and online forms that will allow participants to apply what they learned on practically useful real-life projects.
