UN advises Kenya on job opportunities in solar power business

A greater investment in skill development in solar market technology, according to a United Nations organization, might help create jobs in nations such as Kenya through collaborations with multinational businesses that control the industry.

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has urged governments to create skills that will enable young people to find work and to promote local enterprises’ participation in solar panel supply chains.

“Growth in the solar panel market provides a vast opportunity for the economy through private sector development and job creation. However, much of the market is held by internationally owned companies,” UNCTAD said in a new report.

“Most domestic companies operate in services, offering project-development services, consultancy, and after-sales services.”
