1HZV 5HSRUWRecent activities for overseas development cooperationProject for Capacity Development of Solid Waste Management ofNairobi City, KenyaAzuma Kido, Environmental Expert, KITA Environmental Cooperation CenterIn 2008, the government of Kenya had announcedthe Kenya’s national economic plan, ‘Kenya Vision2030’, for achieving high living standard, internationalcompetitiveness, and economic development by 2030.
However, in the capital city, Nairobi, inadequatecollection/transportation and poor dumping of householdsolid wastes cause serious urban sanitation problems.
The household solid waste management in the city isextremely inefficient because the wastes are collectedand transported separately by several organizations:Department of Environment, contractors for Departmentof Environment, and private service-providers workingon a contract basis with individual generators.
To solve the problems, JICA has implemented theProject for C apacit y Development of Solid WasteManagement of Nairobi City since 2012.
And for promoting the project, KITA has collaboratedwith Kitakyushu Asian Center for Low Carbon Societyand Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)to dispatch experts on solid waste management toNairobi city.

The participants were 15 staffs from Solid WasteManagement and Public Cleansing Corporation, Ministry ofHousing and Local Government, Malaysia.
They visited waste recycling facilities and factories in andaround Kitakyushu city.
And for 3 days of the training program, they wereseparated into two groups for practice: (1) leachate analysisgroup and (2) garbage composting technology group.
The garbage composting technology group learned howto make seed compost from fermented food and how tomaintain it according to the instructions by Mr. Koji Takakuraand Ms. Sayaka Yaoya of Wakamatsu EnvironmentResearch Institute, JPec Co. Ltd.
To explain the importance of soil making clearly, theinstructors used indicators and colorful visual trainingmaterials made of paper, and the teaching method attracted10KITA NEWS No.14careful attention of participants.
‘It’s scientific.’ ‘It’s fun.’ They are most important elementsto transfer our knowledge/techniques to others.
In this training, the participants could also learn the‘environmental education method’, which is essential forenlightenment.
I hope that they will promote the easy-to-understandenlightenment at community level in Malaysia.
