On the shores of Lake Victoria, just outside Kampala city in Uganda, State Minister for  Environment of Uganda Beatrice Anywar addressed over 300 African entrepreneurs and  policymakers gathered in February 2020 at the Switch Africa Green regional forum to discuss  how to advance green economy in Africa.    Echoing the main lesson learned from phase 1 of Switch Africa Green, a project led by the  United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and supported by the European Union to  assist Africa’s transition into green economy, Anywar said the transition to a green economy  requires actions and significant technological, behavioural and systemic change at all levels  of the society, including citizens, public and the private sector.    “It has been established that more radical innovations come from micro, small and medium  enterprises,” Anywar said. “[These enterprises] play a key role in the transition to green  economies and sustainable development in general by greening the existing business  models and creating new business models that are not only economically profitable but also  create environmental and social inclusiveness.”    In Africa, 125 million tonnes of municipal solid waste is said to have been generated in 2012.  According to the UNEP’s Africa Waste Management Outlook, Africa only recycles 4 per cent  of its waste. About 90 per cent is disposed of on land, often in uncontrolled dumpsites,  while the rest is being unaccounted for. The report urges African countries to find innovative  solutions to address its waste management challenges and to prepare for the expected  growth in waste generation on the continent, expected to double by 2025.    Supported by Switch Africa Green project, Matilda Payne has managed to establish MH ...
