Case Study

  • Country wide vulnerability assessment and Risk Projection to determine ecosystems, infrastructure, livelihoods and communities at risk, so as to inform setting of adaptation targets and actions for the short-, medium-, and long-term time scale climate change for the Republic of Zambia
  • Ecosystem based Adaptation project support for the republic of Zambia
  • Capacity Building and Development of Green Growth and Climate Change Adaptation in Africa for five selected Sub-Saharan African countries (Rwanda, Malawi, Djibouti and Nigeria). Africa Development Bank
  • Baseline Assessment on Status of Climate Change Response in Lake Victoria Basin with focus on Water and Sanitation, Energy, Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture. Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.
  • Sector Based Vulnerability Assessment for Climate Change in the Lake Victoria Basin covering Burundi Kenya Uganda and Tanzania with focus on Water and Sanitation, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Energy and Health.
  • Extractives Industries

    We have keen interest in the extractives sector with focus on minerals and Oil and Gas. We work closely with Mining companies, Artisanal and Small-scale miners and other sector stakeholders towards enhancing sustainability of the sector.

    We are accredited as Independent third-party auditors to the Secretariat of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) to undertake independent third-party audits of mineral exporters and their supply chain in line with the framework of the ICGLR Regional Certification Mechanism.

    Case Study

  • Our team prepared the National Action Plan for Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining in Kenya, in accordance with the Minamata Convention
  • Our team has supported the artisanal and small-scale miners in Kenya with compliance assessments, and technical support to enable them comply with various laws and regulations.
  • We have partnered with various actors within the sector towards supporting formalization of artisanal mining in Kenya. Our efforts are geared towards improving the governance aspects within the artisanal mining sector, and sensitization on Best Available Technologies and Best Environmental Practices (BAT/BEP).
  • Working closely with the Kenya Oil and Gas working group, we chaired the process of preparation of the State of Environmental Monitoring report for Upstream Oil and gas activities in Kenya.
  • Water and Sanitation

    At the core of our operations is water and sanitation. Our team has worked extensively in WASH, providing required expertise in design, implementation and monitoring of WASH interventions in the region.

    Case Projects WASH

  • Design of water treatment and reticulation systems for individuals and institutions
  • Design of waste water treatment systems
  • Institutional capacity assessment and capacity development for water sector institutions.
  • Numerous Baseline surveys on water and sanitation access in the region
  • Several Water service standards assessments using Citizens Report Card Tool.
  • Chemicals and Waste Industry

    The UN’s Global Chemicals Outlook II notes that chemicals production and consumption in Africa is growing "at a threatening rate to health and environment". The growth is within an environment characterized by a "lack of capacity for the sound management of chemicals” thus a continued exposure to public and risk to human health and the environment. To this end, our chemical team has been actively engaged in research to establish risks of exposure to hazardous chemicals such as lead, and mercury to Human health and Environment.
