M-taka joined Vihiga County, Kaimosi Friends University, and other stakeholders in commemorating World Environment Day 2026 at Kaimosi Friends University under the theme, "Rethinking the systems that power our economies and repairing our relationship with climate."

A key highlight was the launch of the County Information Services (CIS) Plan, the CECARE Strategic Plan (2025–2030), and new county climate governance committees, signalling a stronger commitment to coordinated climate action and sustainable development in Vihiga.

As counties strengthen climate planning, data will become increasingly important in informing policy, infrastructure investments, and service delivery. In the waste sector, this means digitizing operations, integrating informal and formal waste actors, and generating the evidence needed to improve environmental outcomes.

During the exhibition, M-taka showcased its technology and progress to date, including reaching 372 community members, training 29 waste actors, and onboarding 17 waste actors onto the Integrated Circularity Platform across Mbale, Majengo, and Luanda.

Today, we join the global community in celebrating World Environment Day under the theme "A Global Call for Climate Action."

At M-taka, we believe that protecting our planet starts with everyday actions. Through responsible waste management, recycling, and environmental stewardship, we can reduce pollution, conserve resources, and create healthier communities for future generations.

Every item recycled and every sustainable choice made brings us one step closer to a cleaner, greener, and more resilient world.

M-taka collaborated with the Homa Bay County Department of Environment in a stakeholder engagement forum focused on sustainable waste management and building cleaner communities.

The engagement brought together key stakeholders across the waste management value chain, including landlords, tenants, business owners, transport operators and waste handlers, to discuss practical and collective approaches to improving waste management in Homa Bay.

The discussions highlighted the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in addressing waste management challenges while unlocking opportunities for environmental sustainability, economic empowerment and livelihoods within the circular economy.

At M-taka, we believe sustainable waste management is a shared responsibility. Through partnerships, community engagement and innovation, we can transform waste from an environmental challenge into a valuable resource.

M-taka participated in STRI Week 2026 at KICC, where we showcased our poster presentation highlighting digital solutions supporting sustainable waste management and circular economy systems.

The event brought together a diverse mix of stakeholders across multiple sectors government officials, researchers, industry leaders, and students to accelerate commercialization, strengthen policies, and enhance investments in STEM.
The conference provided a broad platform for knowledge sharing and showcasing innovations from institutions across the country.

A key highlight of the event was the launch of the Research Financing and Capacity Strengthening Masterplan 2026–2036 by the Prime Cabinet Secretary, aimed at strengthening Kenya’s research and innovation ecosystem.

Our participation enabled us to contribute to discussions around technology, sustainability, and digital transformation while increasing visibility for M-taka within the wider innovation ecosystem.

Thank you to everyone who visited our poster and engaged with the team during the exhibition.

How can technology transform waste management and unlock opportunities within the circular economy?

During an insightful interview on Western Spectrum, Benson Abila, Co-founder and CEO of M-taka , shared how innovation and digital solutions are reshaping the waste management sector across Kenya.

The conversation highlighted the growing role of technology in improving waste collection, traceability, recycling, and financial inclusion for waste actors, while also advancing smart city initiatives through strategic partnerships with municipalities including Kisumu and Vihiga.

Beyond environmental sustainability, the discussion underscored the economic impact of circular economy solutions in creating dignified green jobs and expanding opportunities for youth and women.

A powerful reminder from the conversation:
“Your waste is your responsibility.”

As M-taka continues to scale its impact across counties and beyond borders, the focus remains on building cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable communities through innovation, collaboration, and inclusive growth.

M-taka hosted a team of young leaders from Muungano Wa Wanavijiji (SDI Kenya) from Mathare informal settlement, Nairobi, at the Maendeleo Recovery Facility in Kisumu as part of a learning exchange on innovative waste management models.

The visit provided an opportunity to share practical insights on technology integration, material recovery operations, value addition, and business models that are helping strengthen circular economy systems and improve livelihoods within the waste sector.

Through the engagement, the team was also able to explore the value of innovation in anchoring the success of informal sector recovery models such as community-based buyback centres, and how technology and data can help waste actors better manage their businesses, improve access to markets and credit, and strengthen the growth and sustainability of their ventures.

We are grateful for the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences, and we look forward to continued collaboration in advancing sustainable and community-driven waste management solutions.

M-taka recently paid a courtesy visit to the Mombasa County Government Department of Environment and Solid Waste Management, where we engaged with the Directors of Administration, Waste Management, Fleet Management, and the Chief Sustainability Officer to explore opportunities for collaboration in strengthening sustainable waste systems in the county.

We also had the opportunity to meet Michelle from and tour the county’s Material Recovery Facility (MRF), operationalized by Midella. The visit gave us first-hand insights into how waste is handled across the value chain—from collection and picking to sorting and preparation for recycling.

As M-taka continues scaling in Kenya, these engagements in Mombasa are critical in understanding the local ecosystem, identifying collaboration opportunities, and building partnerships that can accelerate a more inclusive and data-driven circular economy.

We explored how technology and data can be leveraged to improve operational efficiency, strengthen traceability, and support evidence-based policy and decision-making within the sector. The conversations also reinforced the growing need for digital infrastructure that connects waste actors, improves visibility across the value chain, and supports more sustainable livelihoods.

We’re excited about the momentum in Mombasa and look forward to working together to strengthen waste management systems through innovation, collaboration, and community-driven solutions.
