Newsletter: Steps to initiate a circular waste management model in Bogotá

Published September 30, 2024

The first steps in a waste management revolution in Bogotá
In partnership with Copenhagen Municipality, Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, aims to revolutionise its waste management by integrating 25,000 informal recyclers into the formal system and shifting from a linear to a circular model. Danida Fellowship Centre is contributing to this transformation through the Strategic Sector Cooperation between Bogotá and Copenhagen. 

Follow two Danida fellows as they upgrade their waste management skills
Key individuals from Bogotá, directly involved in the city’s waste management transformation, will attend the learning programme on Solid Waste Management and Technologies 7 – 25 October 2024 in Denmark facilitated by the Technical University of Denmark, DTU. Follow their journey.

Uniting young water professionals and students across the globe
Fourteen countries, thousands of water-related challenges, but one clear solution: collaboration. For Danida fellows and Danish students, successful water management hinges on working together across borders, sectors and their individual expertise.

Developing climate-smart rice varieties in Tanzania
Tanzania produces over 80% of East Africa's rice, but this high level of production is under threat because of the more frequent and erratic flooding brought about by climate change. Since 2020, a team of scientists from Denmark, Kenya and Tanzania has been working to develop flood-tolerant rice for African farmers.

How to communicate to inspire change
Traditional development communication often centres on PR and impact reports, but to inspire real change, deeper and more meaningful storytelling is vitally important. Get some of the tips from the “Storytelling for development” course at MS Training Centre for Development Cooperation, MS TCDC where 15 Danida fellows took part.
