Green Economy (GE) worldwide has been recognized as the surest way to encourage sustainability and improve human well-being. In Africa, green economy strategies are being developed at the national level but sub-national implementation is still a challenge. There is need to ensure that these strategies are implemented at the local level. The GIZ-UNEP project "Operationalizing Green Economy Transition in Africa is geared at complementing national efforts to move towards a low carbon development, improve efficiency and improve human well-being while minimizing environmental risk. The project was composed of four outputs: 1.Development of a toolbox for operationalizing Green Economy transition. 2.Capacity Development at regional and national level. 3.Capacity Development at local level and pilot applications of the toolbox. 4.Knowledge Management. Designing of a knowledge management platform to facilitate dissemination and replication of the lessons and best practices of the project.
