𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵-𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆

Last week marked a significant step forward in our mission to decentralize circular economy infrastructure and strengthen sustainable waste management systems across Kenya.

The TakaTaka Ni Mali Foundation team spent time on the ground in @𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆, bringing together key ecosystem actors including local waste aggregators, community champions and county leadership led by Mathew Babwoya, the CEC Member for Environment.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁

• 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗼𝗨 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: The TakaTaka Ni Mali Foundation officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the County Government of Tana River. The partnership establishes a collaborative framework to accelerate waste segregation, strengthen recovery systems and build bankable circular value chains at the county level.

• 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 & 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: As part of the Research Commissioning Centre (RCC) programme, we conducted practical training sessions on how digital technology can strengthen waste traceability, streamline aggregator operations and improve data management across the local waste-to-wealth value chain. The trainings equipped local actors with practical knowledge and tools to strengthen circular economy systems in Tana River County.

• 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀: The team also visited the Bura and Hola irrigation schemes as well as the Tana River Sugar Company to better understand the county's existing economic activities, infrastructure and opportunities for integrating circular economy approaches within local value chains.

Our engagement in Tana River is an important step towards building a more inclusive and resilient waste ecosystem that creates value from resources while strengthening livelihoods at the community level.
We are excited about the road ahead as we work with Tana River County to turn this framework into action.
