Welcome to KCDN

This is KCDN, an Environmental Management, Economic Empowerment and Poverty Eradication Civil Society.

We welcome you to our site. Kindly feel free to share with us your thoughts. Ideas that add value will be appreciated. Ideas that want to make us improve our physical environment will be welcome. And more so, ideas that redirect us from the lost cause will be of immense value.

It is us who will improve the lot of our Environment, our Economy and make Kenya a Clean Country, where People join hands to work for our own Economic Emancipation and where Municipal Solid Waste Management is looked at as a resource, not as waste.

We need to set the standards in this region of the World and become the referral point in how a people can join hands and work for their own Economic Liberation, where waste can be used as raw material and become a source of employment for our people.

Our collective actions will surely make a difference. This is why in partnership with our Key Strategic Partners- The Public Service Transformation Department, the National Environment Management Authority, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation,other key Ministries, the Local Authorities in Kenya, the Provincial Administration, A Better World, Akiba Uhaki Foundation and other Partners, we are moving deliberately in sensitizing and mobilizing Kenyans to work towards A Clean Kenya where waste is separated at source.

And this is why we are inviting Kenyans to join with us in The Clean Kenya Campaign and be a Member of Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd

Welcome.

Clean Kenya as a Transformative Agenda for all

Dear Friends,
In 1963, our Fathers who had fought for our Independence zeroed in on three main issues amongst others as deliverables within some time lines. The agreed that they will fight;

  1. to eradicate poverty
  2. to eradicate disease, and
  3. to eradicate ignorance.
49 Years down the line, we have achieved none of these.
However, as we struggle with the challenges of poverty, disease and ignorance, we at The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC firmly believe that a Clean Kenya is achievable as we celebrate 50 Years of our Independence next Year.
It was with this in mind that The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC in partnership with the Public Service Transformation Department, the National Environment Management Authority and the City Council of Nairobi, we were able to successfully host The 1st Consultative Forum on Waste Management at Charter Hall in Nairobi.

The Forum brought together many players and we want to appreciate the following Public and Private Institutions for attending;

  1. The Public Service Transformation Department- OPM
  2. The National Environment Management Authority- NEMA
  3. The City Council of Nairobi- CCN
  4. The Nairobi Central Business District Association- NCBDA
  5. The Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources
  6. The Ministry of Energy
  7. The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation
  8. The Ministry of Special Programmes
  9. Unep Kenya Country Office
  10. Institute of Packaging
  11. Kenya Association of Manufacturers- KAM
  12. Inoorero University
  13. University of Nairobi
  14. Nilinde Niishi
  15. REAP
  16. National Youth Sector Alliance
  17. Green Teams
  18. Triple Bottom Line
  19. MOSSP
  20. Nature Kenya
  21. Eco Efficiency
  22. 1FM Radio
  23. The Star Newspaper
  24. Milele FM
  25. One Stop Youth Resource Centra
  26. Coopi- An Italian NGO
  27. MTYG
  28. Kenya Girl Guides Association
  29. NYC
  30. Youth Tena
  31. Esea
  32. Wildlife Africa, and
  33. The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC
We all know how garbage is competing with space in Nairobi and Kenya as a whole and it was with this in mind that we came together to brainstorm on the way forward as we move towards Separation on Waste at Source in Kenya.
In the company of our Programmes Manager- Mr. Otieno Sungu, we met with Mr. Sam Moturi and Dr Robert Arunga on Sunday Morning to explore how best the Institute of Packaging of Kenya and The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC can work towards achieving this goal.
We are moving with speed to bringing all the key players on Board as we plan for The 2nd Consultative Forum on Waste Management to be hosted at the KICC on the 15th August 2012, where Practical Steps and Time Frames will be agreed upon as we move towards Separation of Waste at Source in Kenya.
Kenya will be celebrating 50 Years of Independence next Year, and we want to show-case a Clean Kenya as one of the Flagship Programmes we can benchmark as major achievements in this Transformative Agenda for our Country.
As we do this, we must appreciate all the Government and Public Officers who have realized that we all need each other to work for a Clean Kenya. It is our responsibility and we must have no apologies for keeping Kenya Clean.
This is something we are all invited to participate in and to achieve; A Clean Kenya by 1st June 2013.
If it is to be, it is up to me. A Clean Kenya Starts With me. A Peaceful Kenya is my Responsibility.

Peace and blessings.
