Ms. Njino urged tourism businesses to prioritize decent work, fair labor practices, genuine community partnerships, benefit-sharing, land rights and accountable leadership that moves beyond statements into systems and transparency.

Anchoring her remarks in the words of the late Prof. Wangari Maathai, Ms. Njino reminded delegates that environmental protection must be rooted in empowering people, informing them and recognizing communities as owners of their resources.

A key takeaway: technology must be affordable, locally relevant and backed by viable business models.

Otherwise, it risks excluding the informal and community-level actors who are central to how waste moves across African cities.

Waste in Africa is no longer just a municipal issue. It is a business, supply chain and resource efficiency issue, and technology is increasingly being asked to help solve it.

On 3 June, GCNK joined Day 1 of AWWS III, convened by @TakaNiMaliKenya in Nairobi.

[Global Compact Network Kenya @GlobalcompactKE]

Stephen Kimenye, Program Manager at GCNK, joined the Pillar 1 discussion on Technology and Digital Innovation in Waste Systems, speaking on how smart technologies can improve system efficiency across Africa’s waste value chains.

Sustainability is fast becoming the defining pillar of global industry, and tourism is no exception.

As businesses embed responsible practices across value chains, corporate responsibility has never been more critical.

We were pleased to be joined by @IsuzuEastAfrica, represented by Dancan Muhindi. Their work in driver training, road safety education, and safer vehicles shows how business can help shift driving culture, save lives, and advance safer roads for all.

[Global Compact Network Kenya @GlobalcompactKE]

Today, @judy_njino, Executive Director of Global Compact Network Kenya, hosted a high-level road safety briefing with @JeanTodt, @UN Special Envoy for Road Safety and former CEO of Ferrari, alongside a delegation from the @UNOPS.

[Global Compact Network Kenya @GlobalcompactKE]

The session explored how Kenya can accelerate road safety action through stronger leadership, policy coherence, private sector commitment, safer transport systems, better data, enforcement, and focused attention on high-risk road users, including motorcyclists and pedestrians.

[Global Compact Network Kenya @GlobalcompactKE]

Participants reinforced the need to move from dialogue to implementation through shared learning, honest reflection, accessible grievance mechanisms and practical tools that embed social sustainability into daily business operations.
