Africa has the world’s largest reserve for renewable energy- solar, wind, hydro, biomass; the highest potential for food production, whose importance only rises as climate change, led by sea-level rise, engulfs large agricultural areas in Europe, Asia and Latin America; as well as enormous freshwater resources over 90% of which lie unutilised. Despite this natural capital, Africa has the lowest per capita access to energy, food and water, a situation that is getting worse with population growth, environmental degradation and adverse climate impacts.
The Resilience Centre, Nairobi seeks to leverage private sector finance and knowledge to catalyse investment in the energy, food and water nexus, working simultaneously with national government institutions and local authorities, to strengthen economic and social capital formation, while improving skills, creating efficient work and delivering essential services.
The Resilience Centre purposes to trigger investment in public infrastructure on goods, services and information, engaging with different business and community interests to grow sustainable assets for the market, the private sector and the communities. Resilience has experienced practitioners and technical staff for comprehensive water supply, irrigation systems, and borehole services. We also undertake water storage development- Dams, pans and weirs to ensure that your projects and activities have all the water they require, not only during the wet season but throughout the year.
