FG launches Waste Marketplace to turn waste into economic assets

The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Environment and the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), has launched the National Waste Marketplace Programme (NWMP) — a landmark initiative designed to convert waste streams into economic assets and strengthen Nigeria’s circular economy. The programme, developed in collaboration with RecycleStack, was officially unveiled on Thursday during a sensitisation workshop in Abuja. Speaking at the event, the Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, described the NWMP as a “practical step towards modernising Nigeria’s waste management system and mainstreaming circular economy principles.” According to Lawal, the digital platform will formalise the nation’s waste value chain by connecting waste generators, collectors, aggregators, and recyclers to end-users through a transparent, traceable, and technology-driven system. He explained that the platform will foster environmental compliance, resource recovery, and sustainable production and consumption patterns, while also […]

CSR-in-Action, Carbon Direct to drive decarbonisation in Africa

CSR-in-Action, a leading sustainability and ESG consultancy, has entered into a strategic partnership with Carbon Direct Inc., a global carbon management firm, to accelerate Africa’s transition to a low-carbon future. The collaboration, sealed under a Memorandum of Understanding, will equip African businesses, investors, and governments with advanced carbon accounting, reporting, and risk management tools that go beyond international standards such as GRI, TCFD, and ISSB.

Africa’s Youth and Startups Drive New Era of Growth

Africa’s business landscape is undergoing a transformation, led by young entrepreneurs who are redefining growth across agriculture, technology, and sustainability. From Dakar to Casablanca, the continent’s innovators are proving that Africa is not just adapting to global trends — it is setting them. Youth Lead Agricultural InnovationAt the Africa Food Systems Forum 2025 in Dakar, youth took center stage. The message was clear: Africa’s food future rests in the hands of its young farmers and innovators. With agriculture still employing the majority of Africans, youth are moving the sector beyond subsistence farming into a technology-driven engine of growth. Precision farming apps, access to digital finance, and climate-smart practices are reshaping the way smallholders produce food. “Smallholder farmers face barriers to finance, technology, and markets,” said Alvaro Lario, President of IFAD. “But when youth bring innovation into the picture, farming becomes […]

Reviving South Tongu’s Mat Weaving Craft for Economic Growth.

In Aglokpovia, a community in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region, mat weaving has been a cherished tradition and a vital source of income for generations. This craft, mainly upheld by women, symbolizes resilience and skill but struggles to reach its full economic potential due to outdated tools, lack of market access, and insufficient investment.Assemblywoman Victoria Dzekloe highlights the challenges, noting that many mats remain unsold due to the absence of a centralized market or proper storage. She envisions a state-of-the-art mat weaving centre to serve as a production hub, marketplace, and gateway to regional and international markets.The proposed centre would not only empower women economically but also preserve this cultural heritage while promoting eco-friendly, sustainable products. Dzekloe calls on local authorities, NGOs, and development partners to support this transformative project, which promises to uplift the community and […]

EU to Extend Commodity Export Regulations Deadline.

The European Union (EU) has announced a deadline extension for compliance with its new commodity export regulations, which target environmental and human rights concerns associated with key goods imported into the EU. Originally set for early 2025, the revised deadline allows more time for countries and companies involved in exporting high-risk commodities—such as cocoa, palm oil, coffee, and wood—to meet new due diligence requirements. These regulations require exporters to prove that their products do not contribute to deforestation, environmental harm, or human rights abuses in their supply chains.This decision follows lobbying efforts from various nations and industry groups, especially those in cocoa and coffee production. Many producers and exporters in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia had raised concerns about the feasibility of compliance within the original timeframe, citing the challenges in establishing traceability systems and infrastructure. The extended deadline […]
