This climate change mitigation initiative is part of Living Earth’s wider Waste to Wealth programme in Douala, Cameroon. The project will utilise the network of poor entrepreneurs and micro-enterprises being built up through the Waste to Wealth programme in three slum areas of Douala, Cameroon. It will introduce entrepreneurs – and decision makers and the wider slum population – to appropriate low carbon technologies with clear climate change mitigation benefits, as opportunities for new, profitable product lines, either for manufacture or distribution, primarily within the programme’s slum locations. This will in turn, reduce consumption of fuel wood, charcoal, gas and kerosene used in domestic cooking and lighting with additional relevant positive impacts over natural resources and health.

Currently the micro-enterprises with which we work are focused on recycling – particularly plastic – and delivery of waste management services. As a result of the main programme’s activities, micro-enterprises are being equipped with generic skills necessary to expand and diversify their businesses, thereby creating employment locally.
