CEFE Training of Trainers in Ghana

CEFE Training of Trainers in Ghana

In the frame of the e-Waste Programme, GIZ is supporting the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MESTI) of the Republic of Ghana in introducing sustainable e-waste management in Ghana. It mains goals are to: 

Improve the capacities of state actors for the management of WEEE
Strengthen private sector actors for the recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment along the recycling chain entrepreneurship mindset of learners.
Initiate the transition process of the scrap yard in Old Fadama to a sustainable recycling park in a conflict-sensitive manner with the participation of the women working at the scrap yard.

Part of the programme is a CEFE ToT on the scrap yard of old Fadama in Accra, conducted by CEFE International and financed by GIZ.
Most entrepreneurial activities and small enterprises on the scrap yard and surrounding are informally organized. In the context of the transition process of the scrap yard to a more formalized and sustainable structure, different aspects of the current activities need to be looked at. Besides healthier and environmentally sounder methods of dismantling and reusing of electronic and electrical devices and waste, entrepreneurial skills and knowledge should be enhanced. A well-adapted entrepreneurial training, such as a CEFE Training, can support the informal businesses and services to grow, provide the community with more income and contribute to the transition of the scrap yard into a sustainable recycling park.
CEFE International conducted the CEFE Training of Trainers in order to qualify experts in e-waste, who are familiar with the social economic context on the scrap yard and adjoining community of Old Fadama, to prepare and lead trainings with diverse target groups using the CEFE methodology
Among the participants there are technical advisors of the project, e-waste trainers from the scrap yard, representatives from NGOs with focus on waste (plastic and e-waste), members of the Ministry of Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The main goal of the Training was to  strengthen the entrepreneurial skills and knowledge of the micro and small informal entrepreneurs that work on the scrap yard of Fadama in Accra.

A well-adapted entrepreneurial training can support the informal businesses and services to grow, provide the community with more income and contribute to the transition of the scrap yard into a sustainable recycling park.

Enhanced entrepreneurial capacities will add to the formalization process of businesses, will provide for more access to finances and for more cooperation opportunities with the formal recycling sector.
