Mainstreaming CP at University.

The Centre has played an important role in incorporating Cleaner Production in two undergraduate courses, Water and Environmental Engineering, and Energy and Biomechanical Engineering of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). In 2006, CP was also mainstreamed into the Environmental Chemistry degree programme of University of Nairobi. In addition, the center has developed a joint Concept Note with the University of Nairobi on “Education and Training for Sustainable Development in the EAC Sub-Region to mainstream Cleaner Production in university education in East Africa. This will be implemented jointly with other Cleaner Production Centres in the region who are particularly well suited to work with the universities given their practical experiences and close links with industry.

The overall objective of the project is to mainstream Cp in selected degree programs offered at the universities in East Africa. This will help to produce graduates who are well versed in CP and Sustainable Consumption who will further assist businesses to realize their economic and environmental objectives in their business operations. They shall also assist governments in the region to formulate appropriate policies that promote a wide use of CP.
