The University of Nairobi’s Department of Architecture is conducting a Workshop at the University of
Nairobi on Monday 25th November to 29th November 2024. The Workshop is for a Research
Project titled: Respiratory Health, Outdoor Air Pollution and Solid Waste Management: A Built
Environment Perspective (RESPIRA-ABEP).
The University of Nairobi wishes to inform all students who qualified for the award of various degrees and diplomas at the end of last academic year (2023/2024) and members of the public, that the 72nd Graduation Ceremony will be held PHYSICALLY on Friday, December 13, 2024 commencing at 7.30 a.m.
This project assesses the impact of mismanaged solid waste burning on air pollution and chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), focusing on Nakuru's Gioto and Nairobi’s Dandora Dump sites. Aiming to reduce air quality inequity and improve CRD care, it involves communities in devising waste management strategies for more sustainable urban planning.
