KTDA National Chairman Chege Kirundi, accompanied by Board Members John Wasusana and Baptista Kanyaru, the KTDA Foundation General Manager Sudi Matara, and the General Manager Sales & Marketing Vincent Mwingirwa, last week, held a significant meeting with Imperial University London.
The University a globally recognized institution ranked second worldwide by the QS World University Rankings, are working towards developing and signing a partnership framework to formalize its commitment to work with KTDA on different sustainability initiatives as part of Farmer First, Leave No Farmer Behind Transformation Strategy.
The partnership framework specifically targets the smallholder tea value chain, focusing on key areas such as Sustainable Agriculture, Climate Change and Action, Energy and E-mobility, and Value Addition. These collaborative efforts are strategically designed to enhance the earnings of smallholder tea farmers.
Jem Woods, Professor of Sustainable Development at Imperial College London and Director of the Centre for Environmental Policy (CEP), hosted the KTDA delegation for this impactful meeting. Also in attendance was Dr Onesmus Mwabonje, Advanced Research Fellow who also leads the Sustainability through Life Cycle Approaches network of excellence at Imperial University London. Dr Mwabonje has been instrumental in fostering collaborative scientific research engagement between Imperial University, KTDA and University of Nairobi.
