NO This document summarizes a project case study on consumer food waste in Kampala, Uganda, and how green and digital technologies can reduce it. It reports household food insecurity levels, growth in municipal solid waste, and the share of emissions linked to landfill, incineration, and waste management, noting that food waste is a major component. Using project data, it estimates daily per-person food waste and compares patterns across income groups, and it identifies key drivers such as limited storage, infrastructure constraints, electricity costs, weak handling practices, and low awareness. It also outlines relevant national and city policy measures, describes current initiatives to reuse organic waste, and lists examples of preservation, cold-chain, ordering, recycling, and waste-to-energy approaches.
