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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
