JOB DETAILS:
Dear Applicant,
Welcome to the Women for Green Jobs Project application form, the project seeks to recruit 30 passionate women professionals who are looking for an opportunity in the green sector to enhance their skills with the possibility of being retained in the companies in which they will be placed.

Project Overview
Challenges Uganda is part of the Challenges Group in Uganda. Our goal is to maximize enterprises' potential for extraordinary impact. We improve enterprises' capacity through learning and leadership development, strengthen enterprise ecosystems and processes, facilitate access to finance, and support enterprise innovation.
