REUSE ECONOMY SYSTEM STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
REUSE ECONOMY SYSTEM STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
This gathering is aimed at convening stakeholders from the grassroots, academia, creative/innovation, financing, civil society, local government, and education spaces, among others, to frame the problem and explore the larger context around single-use plastics, disposable culture, and reuse solutions, as well as to surface participants’ insights and experiences around these. The information and learnings from this gathering will lay the foundation for the eventual design and development of the reuse/refill solution most appropriate for Ondo State.
This gathering is just the first step in developing the initiative around reuse and refill, and we aim for the whole process to be collaborative, with a whole-of-community approach, which means that all participants would map out the goals and the next steps together after.
