Poverty Transition Initiative

About EAZWA
The East Africa Zero Waste Initiative is a regional collaborative framework designed to harmonize zero-waste policies initiatives with regional (Africa Zero Waste) and global agencies (Zero Waste Foundation), strengthen municipal circular economy practices, and scale community-based waste recovery systems across East African nations.

Core Objectives:

Human Rights & Social Justice

At the Poverty Transition Initiative (PTI), we believe that environmental sustainability, economic dignity, and fundamental human rights are inextricably linked. Poverty is not merely a lack of material resources; it is often the result of systemic inequalities, environmental degradation, and a lack of access to basic rights and justice.

Core Agroforestry Practices & Circular Economy Approaches

Through the EAZWA (East Africa Zero Waste Alliance / Zero Waste frameworks), PTI connects agroforestry with circular economy approaches.

Cultivating Resilience: Agroforestry & Circular Zero-Waste Systems

At the Poverty Transition Initiative (PTI), we believe that true environmental sustainability and poverty alleviation go hand-in-hand.

Women and Youth Empowerment

We invest in women and young people through practical training, skills development, environmental action, and community-led opportunities that strengthen livelihoods and build resilient futures.
