“This vision inspires hope and unites all Burundians in their shared responsibility to achieve clean air, a healthier nation, and a sustainable future while setting an example as a nation committed to a sustainable and prosperous future,” Philip Osano continued.
After the workshop, SEI and BESCE signed a MOU to guide their engagement on the various areas of collaboration. Philip Osano signed on behalf of SEI while Georges Nsengiyumva, Director of BESCE, signed on behalf of the organization.
SEI in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the management of Melchior Ndadaye International Airport installed one air quality monitoring sensor. A further 11 air quality monitoring sensors were provided to be installed in areas identified by the Ministry of Environment, Agriculture and Livestock. Through this, Burundi will join other African countries that have taken the important step of dealing with the health effects that bad air quality brings and actively seeking to combat it. With determination, innovation and collaboration, Burundi is poised to create a cleaner and healthier environment for Burundians today and for generations to come. In this vision, the health and well-being of every Burundian is safeguarded, and our ecosystems thrive.
