As principal catalyst partner, we are looking for strategic and specialized partners, investors, and technical assistance for implementation services of our initiatives in Africa, through value addition and use of advanced technologies currently available, while inspiring circular economy solutions from around the Globe.
Our concerns are environmental challenges caused by urban solid waste , wastewater, WASH, agriculture/irrigation, deforestation/ forestation, cities underground infrastructures (water, sewer lines etc ) assessment, and chemical and hazardous wastes sectors in Africa and others like;
- Desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD)
- Integrated water management, Agro-forestry
- Soil conservation
- Rangeland management
- Ecological monitoring and early warning systems
- New and renewable energy sources and technologies
- Sustainable agricultural farming systems
- Climate Change
- World Circular Economy Innovations/Solutions
And look forward to planet pollution free. We target waste to energy schemes, urban waste, wastewater engineering, land filling engineering, landfill gas, dump sites rehabilitation; with development of mechanism for reduction of GHG Emissions developing countries; anaerobic digestion and Bioelectrochemical systems, education, research & development and training young men and women in these sectors in Africa.
We need support from countries, companies and experts with environmental success stories and other infrastructure development projects (including real estate) as committed relevant Organizations. We need to establish a partners consortium –working together to accelerate climate action, planning, budgeting for countries in East Africa if not the whole of Africa.
