Pan-Africa Workshop to launch Global Forum of Cities for Circular Economy and release of Report on “Managing solid waste in Africa”

Date: July 12 - 13, 2022
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania 

In its endeavour to augment circularity in municipal solid waste management, CSE felt the need for having a global network of cities from the global south to create a “Global Forum of Cities on Circular Economy”. The core objective of creating the forum is to provide a platform for sharing evidence-based learnings, challenges, good practices, research findings, areas for advocacy and capacity building and use them to amplify the work in our countries through policy makers, regulators, city governments and other stakeholders. 

CSE is going to organize the first two-day GFCCE workshop in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania between 12-13 July 2022 with senior National Government officials from Zambia, Namibia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Ghana, Rwanda, Eswatini, Kenya, and Tanzania to take the discussion forward for meaningful action on the ground. CSE will also release its scoping report with the representatives of all the participating nations to present an overview of the challenges and opportunities in waste management in Sub-Sahara African countries.
