Green Jobs Initiative in Burkina Faso: From Waste to Wages

This analytical report presents a project designed to promote green jobs in Burkina Faso. In fact, the ILO’s new “Green Jobs Initiative” aims to develop and create jobs in order to promote a cleaner, more sustainable environment. Though the concept is relatively new, the practice is already growing in some parts of the world. The report from the Burkina Faso experience shows that a new project for removing plastic waste is not only improving the environment, but creating “green jobs” in the process.
