KAM Chair @MucaiKunyiha - A number of countries have in place fantastic systems, built over time, to help in waste recycling. We based our #PlasticsActionPlan on best practice from around the world, which we have incorporated locally.
KAM Chair, @MucaiKunyiha - We need to make waste disposal systematic by engaging all stakeholders. KAM works with @Environment_Ke, @NemaKenya and county governments to develop a uniform method of sustainable waste management across the country.
KAM Chair @MucaiKunyiha - Manufacturers play a key role in the waste recycling value chain. They have come up with initiatives that help to reduce waste in our environment, by giving it value, thus creating jobs in the waste value chain.
KAM Chair, @MucaiKunyiha - We are on the right path in developing policies in regard to waste management, particularly plastic. Previously, we had a general policy but we're now moving to develop specific policies for different types of waste.
KAM Chair, @MucaiKunyiha - I urge government to involve all stakeholders, including consumers, environmentalists and manufacturers in developing these policies.
KAM Chair, @MucaiKunyiha - We need to implement a circular economy, where we do not allow waste to go out into the environment. This will ensure that all materials in the value chain continue to give us value.
It has been a great afternoon recapping the outcomes of the First Ever Women in Manufacturing Research in Kenya #WIMKe
The #WIMReport launched earlier this month, provides viable solutions to the challenges facing Women in Manufacturing
Women face unique challenges that hinder them from entering the sector. This is why we continue to advocate for an inclusive manufacturing sector, through the establishment of policies that encourage women to be key players in value and supply chains - KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga
In a forum hosted by @ICRWAfrica to discuss the #WIMReport, KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga noted, 'Women are sidelined in the sector, with majority of industries being predominantly male-owned & staffed. Only 3 out of the 14 sectors have a female workforce of 40% & above.'
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - Climate change affects all sectors of the economy. Industry relies on infrastructure & services, such as water, waste, energy & transport, & are vulnerable to disruptions caused by climate change.
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - There is an emerging global consensus that the traditional linear manufacturing model is no longer sustainable. We need to collectively transition to the circular economy model.
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - Planning for Green Growth & climate change adaptation & mitigation in the manufacturing sector needs to adopt a holistic, multi-sectoral approach.
KAM Head of Policy Research and Advocacy, @wanjohijb is currently speaking on how to build a resilient export sector amidst the #COVID19 pandemic, hosted by @MakeItKenya.
KAM Head of Policy Research and Advocacy, @wanjohijb - To build the resilience for our export sector, we need to take advantage of the opportunities presented by low-hanging fruits in the economy and supply to the export markets.
KAM Head of Policy Research and Advocacy, @wanjohijb - To encourage SMEs to venture into the export markets, we should put in place capacity-building programmes that focus skills development, access to finance, governance & market access.
Illicit trade has a detrimental impact on the substantial growth of legitimate business in the country. It negatively impacts on our economy and has proven hazardous to the health and safety of Kenyans.
Earlier today, Chief Justice @dkmaraga launched the 2nd Edition of the Enforcement Manual to Combat Illicit Trade & the Practitioners' Guide for Enforcement Officers to Combat Illicit Trade, done by KAM, @ACAKenya, Judicial Training Institute & @NCAJKe.
Chief Justice @dkmaraga also launched the virtual training of judges and magistrates on the protection of intellectual property and enforcement against the various forms of illicit trade.
KAM in partnership with Kiambu County and Takataka ni mali held a Clean Up Activity in Kamenu Sub county (phase 4 and 9) #KAMSectors#TrashRightRecycleRight
