The Digital Innovation for Circular Economy (DICE) Africa project was launched in Senegal on March 30, 2026, with a budget of approximately 1 million CAD allocated for four countries over 30 months. This initiative, co-led by the Nigeria Climate Innovation Center and supported by Canada's International Development Research Centre, focuses on improving waste recovery and addressing sector constraints through digital solutions.
A hackathon will facilitate the creation of digital tools for circular economy businesses. Nearly 90% of waste in Africa is improperly managed, highlighting the need for such innovations. The project's success could significantly enhance waste management practices across the region.
