Narrative Description of Project:

The goal of project was to contribute to climate change mitigation, environmental sustainability, and agricultural development by applying strategic waste management innovation systems in Eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda). Specifically the project aimed to: (1) Strengthen capacity to sustainably manage agro-process wastewater in Eastern Africa; (2) Develop and optimize innovative wastewater treatment processes integrating biogas production and water/nutrient reuse for enhanced industrial and agricultural productivity in Eastern Africa and; (3) Evaluate and disseminate the economic, environmental and social benefits of the integrated wastewater treatment bioprocesses. The project contributed to environmental, social and economic development of Eastern African countries including reduction in pollution and contamination of water sources receiving agro-processing wastewaters, reduction in incidences of water related diseases such as diarrhoea, reductions in emission of greenhouse gases (GHG); generation of renewable energy source (biogas), slow down the rate of deforestation for firewood and charcoal, reduce indoor air pollution (IAP) and respiratory diseases since Biogas burns smoke free, and improve agricultural productivity by provision bio-fertilizers.
