Progress is underway in as construction continues for the new neighborhood in Dar es Salaam.

This Material Recovery Facility will become a key community space for segregation, resource recovery, , and strengthening circular systems at the local level. Instead of waste being dumped or burned, materials will be sorted, organic waste transformed into , and valuable resources returned into the economy.

For the community, this means clean neighborhoods, reduced pollution, improved public health, and new socio-economic opportunities through dignified green jobs and community-led waste systems.

Mratibu msaidizi wa mradi wa , aliiwakilisha katika mkutano wa usimamizi shirikishi na wa kidemokrasia wa taka nchini Kenya, ambapo mazungumzo muhimu yalilenga suluhisho la udhibiti wa taka kupitia mfumo wa taka sifuri.

Kupitia mafunzo aliyoyawasilisha kuhusu usanifu na utekelezaji wa Vituo vya Urejelezaji wa taka ( ) kwa ajili ya utekelezaji wa mfumo wa , Marco alishirikisha uzoefu wa vitendo kutoka ngazi ya jamii, akionyesha jinsi ushiriki wa jamii, wakusanya taka, na ubunifu wa ndani unavyokuwa nguzo muhimu katika kujenga mifumo endelevu ya usimamizi wa taka.

Mafunzo haya yalidhihirisha ongezeko la uelewa kwamba si tu suluhisho la kimazingira, bali pia ni mbinu inayolenga kuisaidia jamii na inayoongozwa na wanajamii wenyewe kwa ushiriki wao katika suala zima la utenganishaji wa taka hivyo, kuwarahisishia kazi wakusanya taka katika kazi zao za kila siku katika kuunda miji safi na yenye ustahimilivu zaidi.

Tulifanikiwa kuhudhuria mkutano wa usimamizi jumuishi na wa kidemokrasia wa Taka nchini Kenya, uliofanyika kwa siku tatu, mkutano huu uliratibiwa na na , ukiwajumuisha Pamoja wadau mbalimbali ikiwemo serikali ili kutaffakari kwa Pamoja jinsi mifumo ya taka itakavyoundwa na kusimamiwa.

Mkutano huo ulifunguliwa rasmi na Bw. Molu Wato, Mkurugenzi wa Udhibiti wa Uchafuzi wa mazingira, ambaye alisisitiza kuwa usimamizi bora wa taka si suala la sera pekee, bali ni utekelezaji, ushirikishwaji, na uwajibikaji. Hotuba yake iliweka mkazo juu ya umuhimu wa kuimarisha ushirikiano kati ya wadau wote katika sekta hii ili kujenga mifumo inayowasaidia watu na kulinda mazingira kwa ufanisi.

Mkutano huo pia uliangazia umuhimu wa kuimarisha mifumo ya demokrasia ya ndani katika usimamizi wa taka, kuhakikisha kuwa sauti za wakusanya taka hazisikiki tu, bali zinashiriki kikamilifu katika kuunda sera na maamuzi yanayowahusu.

We were honoured to participate in a three-day conference on Inclusive and Democratic Waste Governance in Kenya, a powerful gathering convened by CEJAD and ICLD Sweden, bringing together government, civil society, researchers, and grassroots actors to rethink how waste systems are designed and governed.

The conference was officially opened by Mr Molu Wato, Director for Pollutant Control at the Ministry of Environment, who set the tone with a strong reminder that effective waste governance is not only about policies but also about action, inclusion, and accountability. His remarks highlighted the importance of strengthening collaboration across all actors in the sector to build systems that truly work for people and the environment.

The conference further highlighted the importance of strengthening local democracy systems in waste management, ensuring that the voices of waste pickers are not only heard but actively shape policies and decision-making processes.

Uzalishaji wa mbolea ya ni muhimu kwa sababu taka za ozo au kikaboni zinachangia sehemu kubwa ya taka zinazozalishwa katika miji mingi. Taka hizi zinapotupwa kwenye madampo au maeneo ya wazi, huoza bila oksijeni na kutoa gesi ya , ambayo ni gesi ya ukaa yenye nguvu zaidi kuliko Co2.

Uzalishaji wa mbolea ya hubadilisha mchakato huu kwa kuruhusu taka ozo au za kikaboni k**a mabaki ya chakula, matunda, na taka za masoko kuoza kwa njia inayodhibitiwa, na hivyo kuzalisha yenye virutubisho badala ya uchafuzi wa mazingira.

Katika mfumo wa , taka ozo au za kikaboni hutenganishwa kuanzia ngazi ya chanzo, hukusanywa vizuri, na kurejeshwa kwenye kupitia uzalishaji wa .

is essential because organic waste makes up the largest portion of waste generated in most cities. When this waste is dumped in or open dumpsites, it decomposes without oxygen and releases , a greenhouse gas far more powerful than carbon dioxide.

changes this process by allowing organic materials such as food scraps, market waste, and yard waste to decompose in a controlled way, producing nutrient-rich compost instead of pollution.

In a system, organic waste is separated at source, collected properly, and returned back to the through . This closes the loop between consumption, waste, and food production.

Taka ozo au za kikaboni mara nyingi huonekana k**a tatizo, lakini zina uwezo wa kubadilisha mifumo yetu ya chakula. Je, vipi k**a taka ozo ni mwanzo wa kitu kipya?

Kulingana na ripoti, kuna kiasi kikubwa cha taka ozo au za kikaboni katika taka ngumu za mijini, ambapo sehemu ya kikaboni inakadiriwa kuwa kati ya asilimia 50 hadi 70, huku chini ya asilimia 2 hadi 5 pekee zikizalishwa kuwa mboji kwa sasa.

Kiasi cha taka ozo au za kikaboni za mijini kinachopatikana kwa ajili ya uzalishaji wa mboji ni takriban tani milioni 3 hadi 4 kwa mwaka. Hii ina maana kuwa sehemu kubwa ya taka ozo au za kikaboni tunazotupa zinaweza kurejea ardhini k**a mbolea ya mboji.

Organic waste is often seen as a problem, but it holds the potential to transform our food systems. What if waste is the beginning of something new?

According to reports, there is a substantial amount of organic municipal solid waste since the organic fraction ranges from 50 to 70% with less than 2-5% being currently composted. Municipal organic waste available for composting amounts to 3-4 million tonnes per year. That means most of what we throw away can return to the soil.

Heri ya Siku ya Wafanyakazi 2026!

ndio nguzo ya mifumo yetu ya usimamizi wa taka, huanza kazi mapema, hufanya kazi kwa bidii, na kuhakikisha mitaa yetu inabaki salama na nadhifu. Kuanzia ukusanyaji wa taka hadi uchakataji wa mboji, hii inaonyesha wazi kuwa hawa ndio nguvu ya mfumo ya unayofanya kazi kila siku.

Kazi yao ni sehemu rasmi na ya msingi katika uendeshaji wa miji yetu. Kila ukusanyaji, kila uchambuzi wa taka, na kila hatua wanayochukua hujenga takwimu, huongoza suluhisho, na huchangia sera zinazoelekeza Tanzania kuelekea mustakabali wa ulio jumuishi, wenye haki, na unaostahimili mabadiliko ya tabianchi.

Tunahitaji mifumo imara, mazingira bora ya kazi, na vitendo vinavyoonyesha thamani halisi ya mchango wao. Mustakabali safi unaanzia namna tunavyoshirikiana nao leo......
