The Entrepreneurship Educators Foundation of Eastern Africa (EEFEA), in partnership with the University of Nairobi, Green Global Footprint Initiative (GGFI) and AfricaNEV, is launching a technical capacity and skill development project for electric mobility.
This project, which will spread across the e-mobility supply chain and local value chain, aims to address human capital shortfalls in the sector. It also aligns with the Kenyan Draft National E-Mobility Policy launched in March 2024. One of the policy’s objectives is to enhance local technical capacity and skills across the e-mobility value chain.
To commence the initiative, EEFEA is organising a roundtable workshop to assemble key stakeholders in the e-mobility sector. The discussions will focus on evaluating the current workforce, pinpointing essential skill gaps, and formulating strategic steps to bridge these gaps.
This workshop is crucial in building a strong talent pipeline to drive Kenya’s transition to electric vehicles. In addition, the company stated that the roundtable will position them as a competitive player in the global e-mobility landscape.
The event will host industry players, stakeholders, academicians, and government officials to join this critical conversation and contribute to shaping the future of e-mobility in Kenya.
EEFEA is a not-for-profit foundation of academics and practitioners from Eastern African countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, and the world, who share an interest in entrepreneurship education and practice.
The firm’s mission is to advance quality education and technical support for sustainable entrepreneurship development through leadership, networking, and innovation in Eastern Africa.
