The Flipflopi project has teamed up with key partners to tackle marine ecosystem health and sustainability challenges by combining indigenous knowledge with modern innovation by constructing traditional sailing and motorised vessels, as well as traditional furniture from plastic waste. The project is called Mitigating Plastic Pollution through Heritage Boat Building.
As part of the SMEP prioritisation work for East Africa, Teifa IQ, in partnership with the Ethiopian Society of Chemical Engineers, Cleaner Production Centre of Tanzania, and Kenya National Cleaner Production Centre undertook: A Country Review of Manufacturing and Pollution in Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Prioritisation of industries for intervention, using a set of agreed
SMEP engaged Open Capital Advisors (OCA) to identify private-sector-generated pollution mitigation solutions that have the potential to scale and realise pollution abatement impact in Kenya and Uganda’s manufacturing sector.
UNCTAD and Instituto 17 created an interactive dashboard which combines economic, trade and product life-cycle analysis, to provide governments and industry actors with key export pollution data for manufacturing sectors in 13 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Adopting pollution control solutions is a complex challenge. Understanding the solutions that act as “horizontal improvers” across various industries is essential to effectively target public and private investments and improve pollution mitigation solutions in sectors that can yield the greatest benefits for the local environment and human health.
