Manufacturing Pollution

Synopsis Series 1: Country and Sector Priorities

The SMEP Programme builds on a scoping study carried out by Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and York University, which identified several key industries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, namely food and beverages, textiles, chemicals, electrical equipment, and metals and the environmental and health impacts of these. To complement this study, SMEP funded further exploration to obtain country- and sector-focussed insights and unpack these findings into potential areas for future SMEP funding of large-scale targeted research and possible interventions at a regional, country or more granular level.

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 qualitative economic, environmental and social criteria.
  • Detailed mapping of the following selected sectors: the Distillery Sector in Kenya, Tanneries and leather products in Ethiopia and Textiles in Tanzania.
