Kenya 🇰🇪 Teachers Are The Most Well Paid In East Africa

-
Image
ANALYSIS By Dorris Otieno Kenyan teachers are not only the best paid in East Africa, but also earn almost 12 times more than the country's average pay, a comparative study by Nation Newsplex and the Institute of Economic Affairs reveals. Even as teachers go on strike for the 12th time since their first industrial action in 1962, the analysis, which compares teachers' salaries in Kenya with those of their peers in select African countries , also finds that the lowest-paid teacher in Kenya earns more than the highest-paid teacher in Uganda. Uganda and South Africa were chosen as countries against which to compare wages of teachers because they have the most up-to-date data against which the comparison could be made. While Tanzania was not included in the comparison because only average pay for the year 2011 was available, even its figures indicated that Kenyan teachers earn more than their Tanzanian counterparts. The highest paid Kenyan teacher earns almost 12 times more than the...

Investment Opportunities in Integrated Waste Management in Tanzania

-


The avenue of providing solutions for solid waste management in the country presents enormous opportunities, especially in Dar es Salaam and other major cities like Mwanza Tanga, Mbeya, Dodoma, and Arusha. Dar es Salaam city produces a substantial amount of metric tons of solid waste per day. Management of this waste through recycling will reduce environmental pollution and offer employment opportunities through commercial ventures. Investors are highly welcome to invest in solid waste management. Recycling of waste can be undertaken through various forms, such as Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) or a private sector initiative, and may be extended to other cities and towns in the country. Specific areas of investment interests include:

• Waste disaggregation

• Sanitary landfills

• Recycling

• Sewerage systems maintenance

• Cleaning of the polluted rivers and other areas


• Modern waste management equipment, such as self-loading trucks, mixers,
sorters etc.

• Establishment and maintenance of public parks along the selected river banks

Dear Geoffrey,
Kindly advise what investment opportunities there are in IWM in Tanzania, specifically the roadmap for investment i.e As a collector of waste and the business case to make it profitable, for example what are the rates for waste collection and was are the tipping fees at the municipal waste dump sites?

Have any of the waste sites been studied for the potential to extract methane gas from the sites and then generate electricity from such gases? Have any Feasibilities studies been undertaken by the Public Sector.

Are there any incentives for recycling of waste (plastics, Metals, Chemicals, Hazardous waste materials, or rules providing guidelines for such waste disposals.

I am keen to understand more about this potential investment opportunity

Dear Peter,

Thank you for the Interest you have shown to invest in IWM in Tanzania, and this is how could advice you.
1.Waste collection and transportation system is a cornerstone for good quality waste management services. These two are a problem in Tanzania and hence an opportunity.
2.There are no constant rates for waste collection but depend on availability,distance from collection centers to dumping places that may vary from one municipal to another.
3.There are no tipping fees excised in the whole country
4.The question whether there is studies for the potential to extract methane gas from the sites and then generate electricity from such gases can read at the link for elaboration http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032115005389
5. A plenty of incentives available read at the following link https://books.google.co.tz/books?id=MsPWCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA74&lpg=PA74&dq=Are+there+any+incentives+for+recycling+of+wastes+in+tanzania&source=bl&ots=AlOsRgHVC6&sig=JkHTWYmRAxY5GiDmb_GFaPIyU6s&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=

Dear Peter,

Hope you are okay!

There are many opportunities more than 10years back when you came here. Cities are increasing with no proper waste management systems hence the opportunity.

Suburbans are growing into urban centers to towns and big cities. Think you know the result of growing cities.

For the city of Dar es Salaam having waste dumping sites and properly managed to produce methane and other products would say nothing of that nature has happened but you may read the reports at http://www.cd4cdm.org/sub-Saharan%20Africa/Tanzania/Municipal/CDMopportunitiesWasteTanzania_Casmiri.pdf and another report titled ''
Evaluation of energy potential of Municipal Solid Waste from African urban areas'' at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032115005389


Please go through these reports and get assured that will be going to Dar this very early November, will get you proper answers, For the raised concerns!


You may contact me via Skype (ID) Geoffrey Martine Mutalemwa.


Best Regards.
