Nipe Fagio We exist to drive systemic change in Tanzania and East Africa. We align DATA gathering, POLICY advocacy, and ACTION to achieve systemic change.

The organisation's fundamental mission is to serve as a connector for people, groups and organisations to get things done, a forum for debate & discussion, a sounding board for community issues that require involvement for change. Nipe Fagio (NF), "give me the broom" in Swahili, is a civil society organization founded in 2013. We aim to empower individuals, especially the youth, the civil society, the private sector and government to build lasting change towards turning Dar es Salaam into a clean and sustainable city, conscious through education of its role on waste management and reduction of pollution (air, water, soil). Nipe Fagio advocates with the government:
• To increase government responsibility on reinforcing current laws and policies.
• To push for new laws and policies to foster sustainable development. Nipe Fagio works with the private sector:
• On the identification and creation of business opportunities that focus on new technologies and promote a clean economy.
• On Best Waste Practices (BWP) education

The True Toxic Toll: What’s in Our Food?

Evidence from Slovakia and the Netherlands raises concerns about toxic chemicals linked to waste-burning pollution.

In Slovakia, grapes, figs, and apples sampled near a cement kiln contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chemicals that can pose risks to human health and the environment.

In Wijnaldum, the Netherlands, tests found high aluminum levels in backyard chicken eggshells and dioxin contamination in eggs. In both countries, backyard chicken eggs exceeded European Union (EU) limits for dioxins, meaning they did not meet the applicable safety limits for sale. These findings raise concerns about how pollution from waste-burning facilities may affect the food people produce and consume near these sites.

Communities deserve to know how incineration may affect their food, health, and environment.

Zero Waste Europe calls for safe, toxic-free waste management, proper monitoring of incinerator emissions, and an EU moratorium on all incineration projects.

Baada ya kuvutiwa na bidhaa zilizooneshwa kwenye maonesho ya nane nane, wawakilishi kutoka Wakala wa Uwezeshaji Wananchi Kiuchumi Zanzibar () walitembelea Kituo cha Kuchakata Taka (MRF) cha Kijitoupele ili kujionea namna Mfumo wa taka sifuri unavyofanya kazi.

Katika ziara hiyo, Wakusanya taka wa Kijitoupele waliwaonesha wageni hatua mbalimbali za mfumo huo, kuanzia ukusanyaji na utenganishaji wa taka hadi uzalishaji wa mboji. Pia walipata nafasi ya kuona mboji inayozalishwa kituoni na mimea inayokuzwa kwa kutumia mboji hiyo.

Wakivutiwa na kazi inayofanyika, wawakilishi wa walieleza nia yao ya kushirikiana na Nipe Fagio pamoja na Wizara ya Vijana na Uwezeshaji Zanzibar ili kuwafikia na kuwawezesha wananchi wengi zaidi kunufaika kiuchumi kupitia taka.

Ziara hii imekuwa fursa nzuri ya kubadilishana uzoefu na kuangalia namna tunavyoweza kushirikiana katika kuonesha kuwa taka si uchafu tu, bali pia ni rasilimali inayoweza kuleta fursa za kipato kwa jamii.

Wakati mafunzo ya Zero Waste Academy yanaendelea huko Bandung, Indonesia, washiriki walitembelea kituo cha usimamizi wa taka ozo kilichopo Kelurahan Cisaranten Endah. Huko, walijifunza jinsi taka ozo zinavyoweza kutumika kuzalisha funza wenye protini nyingi na nzi chuma (Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), sambamba na shughuli nyingine k**a kilimo cha mijini.

Ziara hiyo ilionesha namna mifumo ya usimamizi wa taka inayotekelezwa karibu na maeneo taka zinapozalishwa inavyoweza kupunguza gharama za usafirishaji, kuhamasisha utenganishaji wa taka zinapozalishwa na kuunda fursa za kujipatia kipato.

Uzoefu huu pia unatoa mafunzo muhimu kwa Tanzania, ambako suluhisho zinazotekelezwa katika ngazi ya jamii zinaweza kusaidia kurejesha rasilimali zenye manufaa kutoka kwenye taka ozo, kupunguza kiasi cha taka zinazoenda dampo na kuimarisha juhudi za .

During the Zero Waste Academy in Bandung, Indonesia, participants visited an organic waste management facility in Kelurahan Cisaranten Endah, where they learned how organic waste can be turned into protein-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), alongside other activities such as urban farming.

The visit showed how decentralized systems can manage organic waste closer to where it is generated, reducing transportation costs, encouraging waste separation at the source, and creating livelihood opportunities.

These approaches also offer useful lessons for Tanzania, where locally managed solutions can help communities recover valuable resources from organic waste, reduce the amount sent to disposal sites, and strengthen efforts.

Following the 2nd Regional Congress on Organics and Climate in Jakarta, our very own took part in the Zero Waste Academy: Organics Management as Climate Action course in Bandung, Indonesia.

Organized by the GAIA Asia Pacific network (), the course was hosted in collaboration with Yaksa Pelestari Bumi Berkelanjutan (YPBB) (.id). From practical workshops and group discussions to study tours, participants explored different approaches to organic waste management, including composting, black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), biogas, and food waste prevention.

joined fellow practitioners to exchange experiences, explore practical solutions, and learn how to design organics management systems that consider climate action, community participation, waste workers, financing, and local needs.

For Tanzania, these approaches offer practical lessons where locally appropriate solutions can help reduce organic waste disposal, reduce methane emissions, recover valuable resources, and create livelihood opportunities. It also reinforces the importance of source separation, community involvement, and integrating organic waste management into Tanzania’s zero waste efforts.
