Project Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n \nLed by the Pangani Cleaners Women Group, the Nakuru \nSustainable Solid Waste Empowerment Project (NASWEP) \naims to improve solid waste management (SWM) in Pangani and Lakeview, two low-income settlements in Nakuru \nCity. With a KES 4.9 million budget and a24-monthtimeline, the project empowerswomen and youthto build livelihoods through waste recycling while improving environmental health and governance.\n The Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n \nNakuru generates over 250 tons of waste daily, yet less \nthan half is collected. Poor infrastructure, lack of source segregation, and limited formal SWM services in informal \nareas like Pangani and Lakeview cause pollution, especially \nto Lake Nakuru National Park\u2014a vital UNESCO World \nHeritage site. Only 1,114 of 18,429 households in these \nareas are served by private waste providers, resulting in indiscriminate dumping, health hazards, and social vulnerabilities, especially for women and children\n Project Goals and Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n Smart Waste Tracking<\/p>\n Green Enterprise Development<\/p>\n Capacity Building & PPPs<\/p>\n Target Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\u2192 Primary : <\/strong>Youth, women, and vulnerable groups in \nPangani and Lakeview<\/p>\n \n\u2192 Secondary<\/strong> :<\/strong> Private waste providers, CSOs, schools, and \nlocal authorities<\/p>\n Tertiary :<\/strong> Residents of Nakuru and visitors to Lake \nNakuru National Park<\/p>\n Partnerships<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Key stakeholders include<\/span> NEMA, County Government \nof Nakuru, NAWASSCO, KWS, FlamingoNet, FES, \nPACJA,and CSUDP \u2014supporting policy, enforcement, \ntechnical input, and funding.<\/span><\/p>\n Expected Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\u2192 Waste collection penetration from 6% to near 100% \ncoverage<\/p>\n \n\u2192 Reduction of over 400 tons\/month of waste to \ndumpsites<\/p>\n \n\u2192 Cleaner environment, reduced disease, and safer \nwildlife habitats<\/p>\n \n\u2192 Empowered youth and women-led enterprises in the \ngreen economy<\/p>\n Added Value<\/strong><\/p>\n This project blends technology, policy, and community \nempowerment<\/strong> to support Nakuru\u2019s transition to a circular \neconomy<\/strong>, aligning with climate goals and urban resilience. \nBy turning waste into wealth, NASWEP envisions a cleaner, greener, more inclusive Nakuru<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n OTHER PROJECTS<\/strong> NAKURU – NISWP<\/a><\/strong> MAKUENI – TTT<\/a><\/strong> NAKURU – COMEG<\/a><\/strong> EMALI – ESWA<\/a><\/strong>
