Building Capacity for Circular Economy Innovation - an ACE Africa Webinar Series

The transition to a circular economy is no longer negotiable for African cities given the sustainability issues around the linear “take-make-waste” model. This requires building enabling and innovative capacities to assist businesses and cities to tackle challenges and harness opportunities to unlock the growth of the circular economy in African cities. The series addresses the question of how or what is needed to support small businesses and entrepreneurs to innovate for circular development. The series comprises seven ‘episodes’ which will explore a different need:
