1. Background
Namibia is facing challenges to create a sustainable, people-centred, job-rich developmental
economy. Although Namibia has shown positive economic growth over the last years,
unemployment rates remain a major concern, affecting especially youth and women. At the
same time, topics such as climate change and sustainable development appeared on the
political agenda.
Namibia, as one of the driest countries in Africa, is especially prone to the effects of climate
change, including its potential negative economic impacts and the challenges for the livelihoods
of many thousands of Namibians. Furthermore, Namibia’s continuous economic and industrial
development will put pressure on the country’s natural resource base.
The Green Economy Stakeholder Dialogues introduced the green economy concept in Namibia
in 2011. The dialogues resulted in recommendations for focal sectors and priority activities to
spur the shift towards a greener economy and to exploit the related economic potential. It
furthermore lacked significant emphasis on the employment aspects of the green economy –
an important element in view of Namibia’s persistent high levels of unemployment.
Unemployment and achieving environmental sustainability are often viewed as two separate
challenges; each with its own strategies and solutions. To clarify and raise awareness among
key stakeholders on the interlocking dynamics between the creation of jobs and achieving
sustainable development, the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (MLSW), in collaboration
with the Embassy of Finland in Windhoek as well as the International Labour Organization (ILO),
organized a National Green Jobs Workshop in April 2013 to link job creation to considerations
with those of environmental sustainability. One of the recommendations given by the
participants of the National Green Jobs Workshop was to start a research programme to assess
the situation on green jobs in Namibia and identify sectors with the potential for additional
green jobs creation.
In addition, a tripartite-plus taskforce completed its work to formulate Namibia’s Second
National Employment Policy 2013/14-2016/17 which was launched in October 2013 by H.E. Dr
Hifikepunye Pohamba, President of the Republic of Namibia. During its deliberations the task
force identified green jobs as a potential job driver in Namibia’s economy which is reflected as
one of the strategic principles of the Policy.

The results of a green jobs assessment in Namibia will help to inform and support the country’s
long-term development plans in regards to job creation in the green economy.
The research project will provide a thorough socio-economic assessment focussing on existing
green jobs and potential job opportunities in the green economy. Based on the outcomes of
this research, recommendations for policies and programmes to support the creation of secure
decent and green jobs contributing to social and economic development and adaptation to
environmental degradation and climate change can be formulated.
2. The Assignment
The assessment will result in a green jobs report for Namibia containing:
A baseline on green jobs, quantifying existing green jobs in Namibia
A projection on potential direct and indirect green jobs based on a hypothetical ´What if’
scenarios and findings from the analysis of linking employment and social as well as
economic development policies with consideration on the green economy
Policy recommendations based on the findings of the study
3. Objectives of the Study
The overall objective of this study is to support and strengthen Namibia’s policy framework
towards a green economy by providing input on the employment dimension in terms of green
jobs. The socio-economic assessment will analyse the relationship between employment and a
green economy with a view on how government policies and public and private investment can
help to achieve green job creation. The study and ensuing support will guide a strategy that
Green jobs are defined as decent jobs in agriculture, manufacturing or service that
reduce consumption of energy and raw materials (dematerialize economies),
limit green house gas emissions (de-carbonize economies),
minimize waste and pollution,
protect and restore ecosystems, and
help adapting to climate change.

generates green employment, is climate resilient and spurs economic growth and social
development, as a centre piece of the Vision 2030 and the National Development Plan 4.
The specific objectives are to assess the impacts and new opportunities in relation to jobs in a
green economy. As far as data allows, a gender analysis for potential new job creation is
desirable as is the assessment of green jobs in the informal sector. The aim is to:
1. Analyze the existing Policy, Legal and Regulatory Framework (PLRF) regarding
climate change adaptation and mitigation, job creation and the green economy.
2. Estimate existing green employment in green goods and services sectors (survey-
based method) and in remaining sectors which are highly energy, material and water
efficient (process-based method). This initial stock taking will form the baseline and
include some real case studies (described in text boxes for illustrative purposes).
3. Estimate the potential of creation of new green employment and opportunities in
key economic sectors including direct and indirect employment. Specific focus will be
on priority sector as identified in national and sectoral policy documents. This part of
the study attempts to project employment in green versus conventional sectors in
the short to medium term. It is based on modelling. In addition to the analysis of
additional job creation, the study should estimate employment effects resulting
from shifting activities from conventional to green sectors bringing about a transition
of the workforce (e.g. transition of polluting and carbon intensive sectors).
4. Identify major barriers to as well as best practices of conducive framework
conditions for exploiting the green jobs potential, including e.g. skills bottlenecks.
The study should provide insights and give ideas for innovative business models and
identify areas where the Namibian economy is unique and provides unprecedented
areas for job creation. It should furthermore provide information about areas where
Namibia has achieved recognition for environmentally friendly policies and
frameworks leading to employment creation. The assessment should thereby raise
interest and give impetus to potential future entrepreneurial activity and job
creation in the green economy.
The assessment will conclude with policy recommendations on
How best to link environmental responsibility, job creation and green economy
Investments into green employment and relevant capacity development of the youth
Skills development and the role of major line ministries and institutions
Policy formulation harmonizing job creation and environmental considerations
Micro, small and medium-sized enterprise development in green sectors or processes

4. Data Collection and Methodology
The study will draw on existing studies and statistical data from Namibia. In addition, surveys
will complement official data mainly in informal employment sectors or where other data gaps
exist in the official statistical system; shedding light on green industries and their production
linkages as well as decent work deficits in sectors such as recycling as well as showcasing
employment opportunities in growth sectors such as renewable energy.
A survey-based methodology so as to expand industry accounts of the national accounts and
Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) is suggested for this study. The methodology can enable the
production of a ‘baseline’ and a ‘projection’ of existing and potential green and conventional
jobs in the Namibian economy. The process to identify the ‘baseline’ is described in detail
below. From the ‘baseline’, detailed quantitative estimations on job losses and direct and
indirect job creation and concise country-specific policy scenarios and recommendations are
expected.
There are three major categories of underlying data requirements, these are
Output/GDP and industrial linkages per sector (as detailed as possible);
matched with employment data per sector; and
the measurement of the sectors’ employment-growth elasticity (jobs per unit of growth
in output).
Data sources will include:
Namibian Labour Force Surveys 2012 & 2013
Namibia Population and Housing Census 2011
Namibia Household Income and Expenditure Surveys 2003/2004 & 2009/2010
National Accounts Publications 2002-2012
Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) 2004
Reports on Youth Employment
Conservancy data
Data from policy statements and other relevant national and sectoral framework
documents from various Ministries
Data from local-level policies and strategies
Any other datasets identified by the service provider (SP) in the Inception Report
- 10 -
Based on these data, GDP per sector and employment per sector will be disaggregated into a
conventional component and a green component and the industrial linkages adapted. In order
to establish what share of output and jobs is considered conventional and what share is
considered green, indicators need to be defined for every sector. The SP will conduct expert
consultations and focus group discussions to determine what proportion of output and what
proportion of employment is conventional and green in the various sectors. The SP will
furthermore use expert information from the members of the Technical Committee for the
Green Jobs Assessment (TC-GJA) to determine the sector specific indicators. This information
will be used to disaggregate the relevant data.
The expert consultations will also be used to identify major barriers for the greening potential
in sectors. They will address skills gaps and shortages as well as changing occupational
composition due to the greening processes and identify persisting decent work deficits and
challenges.
Data from the disaggregation will enable the SP to calculate green jobs in the various sectors as
well as the new green jobs that can be created due to green growth. The data will be
summarised in the exemplary format given by the table below. This table gives a summary of
the basic data requirements and disaggregation needed as well as the final objective of
calculating output-, direct- and indirect employment multipliers.

The methodological approach is based on ILO’s methodological guidelines as defined in the
practitioner’s guide “Assessing green jobs potential in developing countries”1 and will use the
Leontief-model for the calculation of employment multipliers. The SP is requested to follow this
methodological approach to the Green Jobs Assessment in close consultation with the ILO.
5. Delimitation of Green Jobs
An analysis of sector-specific indicators will be conducted for the purpose of disaggregating
conventional and green jobs. Provisional, exemplary sector-specific indicators are discussed
below. The SP is requested to review the classification and criteria below in the Namibian
context and provide a detailed classification as part of the Inception Report (IR). In the IR the SP
shall furthermore give recommendations on any other clustering of sectors or any (sub-)sector
to be included in the study.
The criteria should be oriented along global best practice, drawing from experience of other
Green Jobs Assessments or studies such as the IDC Green Jobs Report for South Africa and ILO
Green Jobs Assessments (e.g. Mauritius). The SP should furthermore take into consideration
any existing national, regional or international standards, certifications or technologies that are
used to disaggregate conventional and green sectors.
The definition of sector-specific indicators and the final research methodology should be based
on the ILO guideline for Green Jobs Assessments2
Waste Management Sector
For this sector, the major destination of waste being either fed into recycling/ re-use or landfills
and other dumping can be considered. If the majority of output is related to recycling and re-
use, the sector could be termed green.
Agriculture (crops) Sector
For this sector several methods could be used to determine what is green and what is
conventional. As a first approach, agricultural production that uses certified organic products
could be classified as green and that using conventional non-certified products could be

(http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---dgreports/---dcomm/---publ/documents/publication/
wcms_153458.pdf
2Ibid.
- 12 -
classified as non-green. This classification could be difficult as a result of a lack of certification.
In a second approach, agricultural production that uses both fertiliser and pesticides could be
classified as conventional while agriculture production that does not use both pesticides and
fertiliser could be classified as green.
Furthermore, the use of chemical fertiliser can also be used as an indicator; where percentage
of agriculture that uses fertiliser could be classified as non-green while agriculture production
that does not use fertiliser could be classified as green (this is assuming reports on fertiliser use
in Namibia report mainly chemical fertiliser use). Lastly, agricultural production that is using
draft power could be classified as green whereas production where fuel-powered machinery is
used will be considered conventional.
Mining Sector
The use of energy-efficient mining technologies, measures that help to avoid any sort of
environmental pollution as well as plans for rehabilitation of mining sites in this sector could be
considered. Other criteria could look if measures are in place to recycle and re-use waste or if
the mine has specific plans for the management of waste. In case the specific mine does apply
technologies which avoid any sort of negative environmental impacts it could be considered
green.
Forestry sector
For this sector to be considered green or not, the net increase/decrease in forest stock can be
used to determine whether the sector is green or not. E.g. if there was a net increase in the
forest stock in the country as a whole, then the whole forestry sector could be considered
green.
Fishery Sector
For this sector, fish stock for both inland fishing and coastal fishing can be deliberated. If the
fish stock is not decreasing then the whole sector was green and vice versa.
Livestock sector
For the livestock sector one could for example take commercial livestock keeping as
conventional and non-commercial livestock farming as green. This could be because it was
assumed that most commercial livestock farmers use inorganic pesticides. The use of chemical
fertilizer could furthermore be an indicator for conventional cattle breeding. In congruence
with the criteria for the agricultural sector it could also be looked determined if draft power
(classified as green) or fuel-powered machinery is used on the farms (considered conventional).
- 13 -
Financial Services Sector
To determine the green and conventional output as well as jobs in this sector, different green
finance initiatives could be looked at. Green banking could be banking that adopts and
implements environmental standards and green criteria for awarding loans, which is really a
proactive idea that would enable eco-friendly business practices. The practices create
awareness to business people about environmental and social responsibility enabling them to
have environmental friendly business practices. An example could be where an individual is
awarded a loan for green projects e.g. loans for solar companies/products/goods, loans for
green farming, etc, when the interest of that loan is comparatively less with non green banks
because ethical banks give more importance to environmental friendly factors - ecological
gains.
Hotel and Restaurants Services
For this sector it could be examined based on the number of hotels and restaurants located in
National Parks and following the guidelines of the Eco Awards, these could be considered
green. To get the proportion of output from these green hotels the percentage of bed
occupancy that pertains to these hotels could be used. For the remaining hotels the energy
consumption data to determine which are green could be used. If this is not possible, assistance
from sector associations for guidelines that they might have as to which hotels/restaurants
could be green would be needed.
Tourism Sector
Within the tourism sector it could be looked at the output and jobs that are related to natural
parks and conservancy management and tourism service providers that offer the majority of
their tours and related services in natural parks and conservancies.
Energy Sector
For the energy sector, the source of energy can be used to disaggregate the conventional and
green jobs considering whether the energy is produced from renewable sources (green) or uses
fossil fuels such as coal, gas or diesel.
Retail and wholesale services sector
For the retail and wholesale sector, the average transportation distance for the products in a
company’s portfolio could be considered. If the average distance remains below a specific
threshold, it could be considered green otherwise conventional. The product portfolio could
also be used to determine if the largest share of products is produced locally (considered as
green) or imported (considered as conventional). Another possibility for distinction can be
- 14 -
made according to the share of renewable energy used to provide output in this sector could be
used as an indicator. Therefore, the products traded to classify what is green output and green
labour from what is conventional could be used. The trade margins data could also be used to
determine the quantities of products that are traded. E.g. if it is found that agricultural products
are a certain percentage then using the ratios that were computed in agriculture sector, one
will be able to determine what is green and what is conventional (e.g. if 20% of traded products
are agricultural products and it is found that 30% of agricultural output is green then 30% of the
20% will be the green output from agricultural products), the same could apply to other sector
products like manufacturing, mining, etc.
Communication services sector
For this sector it could be looked at the use of energy. If renewable energy is used then the
service could be classified as green and if non-renewable energy is used then it could be
considered conventional.
Transport Service sector
Public transport could be considered green and private transport conventional. Public transport
could be considered green because it is mass transport while private is only for one or a few
passengers yet the vehicle is burning the same amount of fuel. Public transportation emits less
carbon (trains) and uses less fuel per passenger.
Education, Health and Public Administration
For these sectors it could be evaluated based on the percentage of that sector that uses green
energy, this proportion could be considered green and the balance could be classified as
conventional.
Water (Management) Sector
For this sector it could be analysed based on water sustainability. If the water resources are
used sustainably then the sector could be considered green, if the resources are not used
sustainably then the whole sector could be considered not green. The same classification as
that used in the forestry sector could be used. The question here will be - Are water resources
in Namibia used sustainably? If not then the whole sector will be classified as conventional.
Manufacturing Sector
The manufacturing sector is difficult to disentangle as it has very many products. The product
could be used to determine what is green and what is conventional. For example cement and
cement products are not green, wood products are green (if its production uses natural
- 15 -
resources efficiently), textile is not green unless they are making cotton products only,
considerations could be guided by the EU classification of Environment Goods and Services3
Housing/residential construction
For this sector it could be looked at the type of dwellings, if the homes have used a significant
amount of naturally occurring local products like mud bricks, wood, grass, etc. then these could
be classified as green homes and those using cement and concrete bricks as are conventional
dwellings. The type of energy used could be used to determine the level of green housing. In
the absence of a green buildings classification for example LEED4 in the USA or standards used
by the Green Building Council South Africa5; green housing could be determined from the
materials used in constructing the houses.
Construction sector
As for the housing and residential construction sector, it could be determined if a specific
infrastructure uses mainly local material and could thus be considered green.
6. Cross-cutting and complementary considerations
Informal Economy
The Namibian informal sector covers all kinds of small-scale activities that are semi-organised,
unregulated and uses low and simple technologies. Recent research indicates that the informal
economy plays an important role in complementing the formal sector in creation of
employment opportunities for the youth who exit from learning institutions. The ease of entry
and exit from this sector coupled with use of low level technology makes it an avenue for
employment creation. Informal employment can be classified into:
Informal self-employment – which includes self-employment in informal enterprises,
own-account workers in informal enterprises, unpaid family workers, and members of
informal producers’ cooperatives.

4LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design; it is basically a third-party certification program:
http://www.usgbc.org/leed/rating-systems
5http://www.gbcsa.org.za/rating-tools/green-star-sa-rating-system/
- 16 -
Informal wage employment – which includes employees without formal contracts,
worker benefits or social protection, who are employed either in formal or informal
enterprises.
Data on employment for specific sectors in the informal sector, if available, will need to be
complemented by surveys as well as expert consultations and in-depth secondary data analysis.
Skills needs
The expert consultations will also include questions to identify major skills bottlenecks. The
following questions exemplify possible questions to be asked in this context:
Are there skills gaps among the current workforce which prevent making products and
services (in your sector) greener? Which ones?6
Is there a shortage of available workforce with suitable qualifications for greening
products and services? 7
Are there new skills requirements that are currently not available on the market?
Are new skills levels expected higher, the same or lower?
Does a greener production lead to changes in the occupational composition of the
sector? In what way?
What are the decent work deficits currently existing in Namibia?
What is the gender dimension regarding skills in the sector?
Gender
The SP will also pay specific attention to gender considerations and assess any prevailing or
potential occupational gender patterns in green and conventional jobs. The survey, expert
interviews, focus group discussions etc. will therefore include questions to identify such
patterns, their root causes and strategies to overcome and mitigate any marginalisation and
unequal treatment.
Decent work
As per the ILO-definition, green jobs are decent jobs, thus jobs that ensure gainful and
productive employment, recognize rights at work, and ensure a minimum of social protection
and social dialogue. The SP will use the expert consultations and focus group discussions to
6This question addresses qualitative skills bottlenecks.
7This question addresses quantitative skills bottlenecks.
- 17 -
assess the current status according to these four elements of ILO’s Decent Work Agenda8. The
analysis should give an indication on:
The current shortfalls and potential for improvement in green and conventional
occupations with respect to decent work
An indication of potential threats to decent employment in future green growth sectors
Ideas for possible solutions to overcome shortfalls in present and future green jobs
Considerations of labour-intensity
The SP will provide additional insight into the degree of labour intensity in existing and
potential green jobs and compare this with conventional occupations. It should give indication
about the possibility to use highly labour-intensive process in specific sectors as a means to
exploit additional job creation potential in the green economy.
7. Expert/Stakeholder Consultations
The production of the Green Jobs Report Namibia will involve selected experts from Namibian
research institutions including representatives from the University of Namibia (UNAM), the
Polytechnic of Namibia, the Labour Research and Resource Institute (LaRRI). The final list has to
be determined in consultation between the SP and the TC-GJA. Other experts will inter alia
include statisticians and economists from the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA), the Bank of
Namibia and other experts familiar with existing data sets such as the Social Accounting Matrix
(SAM), and selected sector experts including social partners.
In order to ensure a participatory approach as well as ownership, the study will actively involve
experts from the TC-GJA and others including:
Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare,
Ministry of Environment and Tourism
Ministry of Mines and Energy
Ministry of Agriculture
Ministry of Trade and Industries
Ministry of Lands and Resettlement
Ministry of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development
National Planning Commission
8http://www.ilo.org/global/about-the-ilo/decent-work-agenda/lang--en/index.htm
- 18 -
Consultations with stakeholders from academia, NGOs, the private sector, development
partners together with relevant ILO experts and other international experts will complement
the work of the TC-GJA. The information to be gathered will be useful for the purpose of
delimiting ‘green’ and conventional jobs.
8. Management arrangements
The Technical Committee for the Green Jobs Assessment will be chaired by the Ministry of
Labour and Social Welfare (MLSW). It will assess the quality of the products delivered by the SP
as well as the overall progress made in the course of the project.
The committee will meet when the following milestones of the Green Jobs Assessment have
been achieved:
Inception Report
Presentation of first results of the survey and raw data
Presentation of the draft report
Presentation of the final report
Any deviations from the ToR must be reported to the Chair of the TC-GJA and the ILO in due
course and changes must be agreed upon by the respective persons stipulated above.
9. Expected outputs, deliverables, timeline and duration of the assignment
The study will be conducted in two phases hence it will also have two major outputs:
Phase 1: Socio-economic assessment of employment in Namibia that will provide data
on conventional and green employment in the country. The data outcome is a rough
recent supply–use table based on an updated Social Accounting Matrix disaggregated
into green sub-sectors on output and employment based on the national accounts. The
report will include a stock-taking of existing relevant policies, regulations and other
strategic documents.
Phase 2: Report with projected estimations of green jobs. The report will analyse in
detail the direct, indirect and induced green employment in Namibia. It will also assess
relevant policy options for increasing green jobs taking into account identified barriers
including skill bottlenecks and make recommendations for policy reform and
- 19 -
interventions to overcome existing gaps in order to exploit the existing potential for
green jobs.
The SP will produce the following deliverables to achieve the above-mentioned outputs:
A draft Inception Report of maximum 20 pages detailing the workplan for the
assignment, a detailed list of information resources and key stakeholders and their role
in the survey and interviews as well as the draft classification of sectors and of green
and conventional jobs therein and the detailed outline of the proposed methodological
approach. The draft IR will also include a suggested outline of the report and a draft
structure of the various chapters.
The draft Inception Report will be produced at latest 15 working days after signature of
the contract. During this preparation phase the SP will be requested to participate in a
training on the ILO methodology for Green Jobs Assessments to refine a preliminary
draft IR that will have to be prepared prior to this training (subject to the availability of a
trainer). The draft Inception report will be presented by the SP to the TC-GJA.
A revised, final Inception Report including recommendations and changes proposed by
the TC-GJA, 5 working days after the meeting with the TC-GJA.
A progress report of 5 pages every four weeks after acceptance of the final inception
report. The progress report will provide details on data collection, meetings held, major
findings and challenges encountered.
A draft report on the survey results and the raw data as well as the PLRF, 60 working
days after the acceptance of the final Inception Report. The report will have a maximal
length of 40 pages. The draft report will be presented by the SP to the TC-GJA.
A revised report on the survey results and the raw data including recommendations and
changes proposed by the TC-GJA, 10 working days after the meeting with the TC-GJA.
A draft report including findings on existing and potential green jobs in all relevant
sectors as well as results from the informal sector analysis and the skills gap analysis.
The draft report will be presented to the TC-GJA no later than 120 working days after
the acceptance of the final inception report. The length of the report will not exceed 100
pages excluding annexes.
A final report will be delivered at latest 20 working days after the meeting with the TC-
GJA and submitted to all stakeholders for final approval.
Presentation of the findings and recommendations of the final report to ILO
constituents, senior policymakers, and the broader public during a public workshop in
Windhoek, Namibia.
