This report by the Alliance for Renewable Electrification (ARE) and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) analyzes the potential for decentralized renewable energy (DRE) to create green jobs in rural West Africa, specifically focusing on Ghana and Senegal. The study develops a standardized methodology to calculate direct employment using an 'employment factor' and compares current employment levels with 2030 projections under 'status quo' and 'future-oriented' policy scenarios.

This report by the Alliance for Renewable Electrification (ARE) and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) examines the potential for direct green job creation through Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) in Ghana and Senegal. It establishes a methodology for calculating an 'Employment Factor' to estimate jobs per kWp of installed capacity and provides scenarios for job growth by 2030 based on different policy approaches. The study highlights that DRE can serve as a catalyst for formalising employment in regions with high informal sector activity and can significantly increase induced employment through productive uses of energy.

It mandates the use of the 'meule Casamance' for carbonization and establishes a system of permits and quotas managed by the Forestry Service and local authorities. Additionally, the text includes environmental conformity certificates for an agricultural site in Thialla and the depollution of Baie de Hann.
