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 project creates a large number of skilled employment for youth and women but also brings in unskilled labour. One of the fascinating features of this project is that it highly values plastic waste, rubber tyres, oil and other high calorific material that is normally a major problem in disposal sites. One of our first acts will be to engage youth to bring in all the plastic they can find- from drainages, illegal dumpsites

Resilience Centre has incorporated drones with the aim of revolutionizing traditional practices across renewable energy, water management, and small-scale farming. In small-scale farming, resilience utilization of drones empower farmers with precision agriculture services, crop monitoring, and livestock management, driving efficiency and sustainability throughout the agricultural value chain.
