The University of Goma (UNIGOM), in the framework of the VaDech-RD Congo project (a third-party project supported by PDTIE) organised the Scientific Days on December 2 to 3, 2024.
The theme was “Waste valorization in the Congo Basin: socio-cultural dynamics and environmental technologies”.
The objectives were to reflect on waste management in the Congo Basin, following a systematic three-dimensional reading grid:
- initiatives and/or institutional efforts to manage and valorize waste in this area, their underlying logics and rationales;
- the crisis of environmental awareness among citizens in this area, as well as the resulting practices of waste mismanagement; and
- the social, technological and economic issues linked to the diversification and multiplication of waste in this area.
Find here the summary of the papers presented during these two days and the news published by the university.
