Abstract: This
Action Plan is a result of the environment workshop held by
the Mazingira Institute in 1993, entitle 'The Nairobi
We Want Convention,' organized by Mazingira Institute in 1993.
The workshop addressed problems of Nairobi's human and natural
environment specifically issues of poverty, gender, wastes
and resources. Participants represented most sectors of society.
All agreed on the need for a greater commitment to the city
environment. Discussions were not limited to an analysis
of prevailing problems, rather solutions, goals and action
items were also put forward.
