today the inhabitants o the earth livein a way thats not sustainable in the long

run. The amous exhibition Hard Rain

Our Headlong Collision with Nature

addresses this issue. Bob Dylans song, A

Hard Rains A-Ganna Fall, is visualized

in a very emotional and moving way by

the British photographer Mark Edwards.

Sustainable development is an approach

to how individuals must live in order to

avoid draining the ecosystems and mak-

ing sure that we can meet our basic needs

today as well as in the uture. This mes-

sage was presented and discussed during

the conerence to create a shared under-

standing o todays situation and to orm

a vision o the uture in Kenya. To make

this change, abate and resolve these issues

green solutions must be used by all means

in procedures, technologies, methods and

practices that strive towards the goal o

sustainable living. Participants o the con-

erence were asked What are green solu-

tions to you? and the answers were varied.

The Environmental lens is a process oriented tool

with an attached education material, which can

be used to integrate environment/climate change

into projects and programs within the Swedish

development cooperation together with partners.

It is Diakonia and the project manager Andreas

Ulsax, which together with Swedish Coopera-

tive Center and Forum Syd have developed theEnvironmental lens, within the cooperation o

ten Swedish development organizations. A coop-

eration which Sida Partnership Forum supports.

- The result o the rst workshop exceeded our ex-

pectations, states the project manager Andreas Ul-

sax. When we asked the participants in the end o

the workshop to state how they are planning to use

the workshop, the suggestions proved both ambi-

tious and tangible.

The Environmental lens acilitates interesting discus-

sions between the participants during the workshop.

The discussion comprised how climate change inu-

ences gender equality and on the connections be-

tween environmental issues and democracy. The par-

ticipants also discussed what strategies that are used

to work with the causes o environmental problems.

- The tool shows to be both useul and much appre-

ciated, Andreas Ulsax ends.

He will acilitate six more workshops in Cambodia,

Sweden, Bolivia, Zambia, Jordan and Bangladesh

during 2011. The project do also promote coopera-

tion between actors and partners rom the private

sector, the civil society and the public sector, with the

aim to nd ways to improve programs and projects

through the integration o environmental issues.

JOyCE NyambuRa, aLgaK

for this particular conerence the in-

vitation process was clear, the main invitees

were mayors, council chairpersons, town

clerks, clerks to council, treasurers and en-

vironmental ocers. Currently in Kenya,

there are very ew women who occupy these

positions. According to the new constitution

under article 175, Principles o Devolved

Government, no more than two thirds o

the representative bodies in each country

government can be o the same gender.

The new constitution increases the possi-

bilities or women to enter politics, and Joyce

believes that many women will be encour-

aged to run or county positions, whereas

in the past, they aced many challenges and

were oten ridiculed and mocked by both

men and other women. This law makes

it easier and more accepted to express an

interest in political lie.

It is important to bring women into these

positions so that the democratic organs in

act represent society as a whole. Women

voices are especially important, as they oten

live closely with their amilies and can bring

attention to important insights and perspec-

tives concerning amily lie. It will take some

time or Kenyan society to adapt to these

new political requirements. However, a

small number o women are already in par-

liament so this concept is not entirely new.

Progress will depend on the way the agenda

is shaped by opinion leaders and media. Also

when women get into the county govern-

ments, they will at rst have to prove their

value and show competence. Then they will

be taken seriously. As or the risk o puppet

candidates, meaning that someone else is

behind the agenda, Joyce says that it would

be a betrayal by women to ellow women to

be manipulated holding important positions.

It is o great signicance to be totally com-

mitted to ones cause.

The political arena in Kenya will improve

when women are ully represented. I

development-orientated women enter into

oce, development and change can truly take

place. Women are good at taking the time to

listen to details o an issue. Society will be

closer to what we want it to be and statisti-

cally corruption will go down with more

women there are on higher positions.

Old practices can be reapplied and creative

thinking which has been practiced in house-

holds by women in the past is, again, o im-

portance in sustainable living and in a more

equal society. For this reason it is essential

to include women in the decision-making

processes. Joyce remembers an anecdote

rom when she was young, when her mother

gathered all the kids or sand stove cake-

baking, since they didnt have a proper stove.

In conclusion, there is nothing sustainable o

keeping women out o politics and decisions

as they are oten the central being o amilies

and households and have other ideas about

what development is and what solutions to

issues entails.

is an important issue

therefore it is essential to prevent and sub-

due this epidemic. It has been shown that with in-

creased education, the rate o HIV inections can

be reduced. Equally, with reduced level o educa-

tion, the number increases. One can hence draw

the conclusion can that education is needed to pre-

vent more people rom getting inected. The issue

o HIV/AIDS is o vital importance in relation to

Kenyas capacity building. Today, the Municipal

Council o Machakos is working to prevent HIV/

AIDS by means o education. It wants to help not

only the ones carrying the disease, but also their

amilies. Benson Muasa says that with more money

and a acility they could do a lot. Preerably head-

quarters with complementary small acilities in the

diferent wards would make a change.

sustainable Development

in his presentation, many considerations o

practical relevance where discussed. For this rea-

son, Maina Daniel was given the opportunity to

write a paper in the conerence report, in which he

could elaborate on this critical issue where so many

players seems to make a lot o mistakes and estab-

lish partnerships that do not contribute to the well

being o the planet and its inhabitants.

At the end o his presentation he spoke about six

key areas to consider when scaling up partner-

ships; statutory and political environment, pub-

lic sectors organized structure, detailed business

plan (contract), guaranteed revenue stream, stake-

holder support and pick your partner careully.

He concluded by saying: I we can achieve and

demonstrate these six key areas, scaling up o part-

nerships and investments in development projects

that are sustainable is guaranteed. With such

a message, who could resist reading his paper?

THE symbiO CiTy CONCEpT

in 2030, Arica will add 400 million urban

residents, and Arica is urbanizing at a

high rate. Intensied, longer droughts have

been observed over wider areas since the

1970s, particularly in the tropics and sub-

tropics, sustainable water solutions are

in great need and every economy simply

must build sustainable urban areas to en-

sure human wellbeing today and tomorrow.

The uture city is not yet built the win-dow o opportunity is here now. The

solution lies in turning negative events into

positive results, triggering political action,

creating tougher legislation, and spurring

cooperation between local, regional and

national authorities and private industry,

and ultimately, involving ordinary citizens.

Thus, companies, municipalities and gov-

ernments can begin to turn sustainable

ideas into reality, nding new ways to treat

water, insulate buildings and develop auto-

matic energy saving systems and alterna-

tive uels. A new insight is that these inno-

vations also turn out to be really protable.

Why heat water with electricity when you

can just put a winding black tube on your

roo to heat water? Why not use anaerobic

digestion o sludge into biogas and pure

methane? Collected and treated sewageand wastewater can be made into clean

water. Further treatment o residual sludge

can be used as bio-ertilizer on rural arms.

There are countless good examples o sus-

tainable innovations, and the results are

protable or the economy and environment

as well as it improves well-being or all.

from inDiapriyanka dale, rom the

Society or Participatory Re-

search Institute in Asia (PRIA)

based in New Dehli, India con-

tributed to the conerence on

green solutions and sustainable

development with a paper and

a presentation on local strategies

and participatory approaches or

sustainability.

More specically, Priyanka Dale

presented insights and experi-

ences o PRIA and partners in

strengthening local democratic

institutions or sustainable de-

velopment o the community.

Her paper describes examples o

using participatory methodolo-

gies in order to enable conditions

or sustainable development at lo-

cal level, and ends with a discus-

sion on selected challenges and

key issues related to participatory

development.

At this conerence, the voice rom

PRIA is important. Since the

early 80s, PRIA has been com-

mitted to strengthening peoples

voices in decisions that afect

their lives, and how to improve

governmental responsiveness.

This is a rights-based approach

to development, and based on

considerable experience and

investigations.

paRTNERsHip FORLOCaL dEmOCRaCy

lisa wlitalo,

presented The

National Asso-

ciation o Swed-

ish Eco-Munici-

palities, Sekom.Twenty munici-

palities joined to

create the orga-

nization in 1995, and in 2011 the num-

ber o participating municipalities had

increased to encompass 80 out o all 290

municipalities in Sweden, i.e. an entire

28%. The guiding principle o Sekom

is to encourage development towards a

more sustainable society with a sound

environment while at the same time en-

suring a high quality o lie. The local

authority must adopt a strategic plan

and program or achieving local sustain-

ability that is in line with the our systems

conditions outlined in the Natural Step

Framework.

The main purpose o Sekom is to pro-

vide a orum and a meeting place where

politicians and municipal employees

can exchange inormation and learn

rom each others successes and ail-

ures. The inormation exchange occurs

through the Sekom website, through

courses and the annual conerence.

A main ocus or exchange o experience

is the corporation, through its activities,

to support member municipalities in the

process o translating sustainability crite-

ria into practice. Another important di-

rection is to increase the number o mem-

bers who are involved in international

projects. An example o this is The Cov-enant o Mayors a European move-

ment involving local and regional author-

ities, voluntarily committing to increase

energy eciency and use o renewable

energy sources on their territories. The

National Association o Swedish Eco-

Municipalities encourages its members to

sign this covenant in order to encourage

development towards a more sustainable

society.

karin nyquist, an architect rom

Sweden, presented a concept on sus-

tainable building, EcoCycleDesign.

It is a holistic way to design buildings

and cities, combining beautiul design

with system design. The missions main

words are: reduce, reuse, recycle, re-

newable and rethinking. How can we

plan or our societies and buildings?

EcoCycleDesign encompasses concepts

such as cost eciency, sustainability, en-

ergy savings, recyclable materials, high

quality, good indoor environment and

health. Karin talked about ecient green

solutions that can be used to save, collect

and reuse all sorts o water, i.e. collect

rain and storm water, use shower water to

plants and not use drinking water or toi-

lets and she also demonstrated a waterless

toilet. She had great interest about how to

cool down a house by building a double

roo to enable cross ventilation. The ob-

jective is to minimize the negative impact

on nature by closing all the loops and the

result is no waste! The inspiration to Eco-

CycleDesign comes rom nature where all

loops are closed and there is no waste!

the product is called Solvatten

which means sun water. It is a portable

10-litre container that uses heat and

UV rom the sun to make unsae water

drinkable. Put it in a sunny place and

ater 2-6 hours an indicator turns green,

which means that the water is now sae

to drink. The device could be used up to

3 times a day.

With Solvatten, households can save

money, time, avoid diseases and live

more comortably. Less rewood is

needed or cooking so the households

can save both money and time, and

cooking the ood is aster. With clean

water there will be ewer illnesses in

the amily, which is most important or

children under the age o ve as they

are most sensitive to unsae water. Fur-

thermore, it gives some luxury to the

household as they can wash up in warm

water.

Companies and individuals make dona-

tions to Solvatten AB. The donations

make the distribution o Solvatten pos-

sible. Local non-governmental organi-

zations with the capacity to distribute,

and sell, are then chosen to carry out

the distribution. Solvatten AB gives

the innovation to them or ree on two

conditions. The rst is that they dont

just give the device away or ree and

the second is that the buyer receives

proper instructions on how to use it.

These demands are made because they

increase the probability that the devise

will actually be used.

FuTuRE

dECisiONmaKERsin discussions o sustainability,

the next generation is easily orgotten.

However, we need to involve young

people rom the beginning, and teach

them how live sustainably in balance

with nature, rather than destroy. In

Machakos, Kenya there are two young

individuals who have taken on a mis-

sion to pass good thoughts, practices

and knowledge on. Sustainable living

has diferent meanings or everyone,

but or Miriam Munee John and Rich-

mond Ntenge Mutua it means living in

a clean and healthy environment.

Practical ideas or sustainable devel-

opment in Machakos municipality are

many; minimizing consumption, reus-

ing and recycling waste plastics, plant-

ing tree seedlings in water catchment

areas, organizing and participating in

awareness campaigns to conserve the

environment, raising money to plant

ruit and grain seedlings or malnutri-

tion purposes are just a ew examples

o possible actions. With the help o

Miriam and Richmond, The Green

Solutions conerence will change peo-

ples minds on sustainable develop-

ment. People will start to realize what

sustainable development really means.

The transer o technology and green

solutions will give people hands-on in-

ormation and methods o how to solve

issues with unsustainable living and de-

velopment. It is a great opportunity to

nd partnerships with other organiza-

tions or companies in Sweden or locally.

Further, Miriam and Richmond will

be able to get better response in order

to motivate youth to work and get in-

volved in sustainable development,

and to involve them in environmental

conservation awareness campaigns or

programs. The work that is being done

by Richmond and Miriam so ar in the

Mazingira youth group is a great ex-

ample o how to make change happen

rom within.

Mazingira Youth Group is a non-prot

environmental organization in Kenya

and they are working with rural poor

communities in Machakos to alleviate

poverty and building capacities to deal

with the root cause o poverty. They

ocus on environmental management

activities such as raising unds or plant-

ing trees, collecting garbage and start-

ing up recycling programs. The aim is

to empower the group by giving them

sucient knowledge and skills. They

are in a process o seeking support

rom the Municipality, the Government

and non-governmental organizations

in order to increase capacity and e-

ectively implement diferent projects.

The philosophy behind the project is

to improve young individuals abil-

ity to develop and manage resources,

with emphasis on managing natural

resources. This will enable them to be

sel-reliant and sel-sustained, which is

an important component to sustainable

development.
