Notable accomplishments include: - Enhancing the Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) in the sector through the strengthening of the National E-waste Steering Committee, focused on discussions on skills development between the private sector, the government and the VET providers. - Developing the first approved e-waste management curriculum in Kenya, including occupational standards, learning materials, and assessment instruments. - Equipping workers, organisations, and VET providers with essential e-waste handling skills, by training trainers and youth to collect, process, and refurbish electronic components and devices, facilitating business creation, and providing the necessary equipment for these activities. - Conducting a national e-waste study identifying business and employment opportunities in the sector. - Establishing an e-waste collection centre at Meru University of Science and Technology, raising awareness of the e-waste issue and of economic opportunities arising from proper collection and disposal of e-waste.
