The shared message was clear, responsible business conduct is no longer about box-ticking. It is about early investment, honest risk assessment, meaningful engagement with workers and communities, and partnerships that create real value.

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.

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.
