Hi there. Can I tell you what I dream of doing?
I want to develop a policy that will reap the benefits of blue economy in Kenya and provide employment,food security,energy and clean drinking water.The earth is covered by 30% land and 70% water.The land resources have been depleted and it is high time we turned to oceans and seas and create value out of our water bodies.
It's all part of making a better world.
Employment opportunities in the blue economy sector e.g seafarers
Energy from the oceans and seas
Minerals
Food security e.g fishing,crabs e.t.c
Clean drinking water using desalination process
Poverty reduction
This is really going to help people.
The impact of my vision will be mainly felt by
The communities living around water bodies and islands
The youths in terms of employment opportunities
Women in terms of being saved from walking long distances to look for water
The Kenyan citizens in terms of employment opportunities and food security
State in terms of saving costs on fuel importation and adding energy megawatts to the national grid
It's not just about having an idea though - here are the things I know I can achieve:
Employment opportunities
Food security
Poverty Reduction
I'm going to make this happen, and this is how I know it'll make a difference.
Data on number of new people employed employed every year in the blue economy sector
Poverty index by getting data from Kenya Bureau of Statistics
Consumption rate of sea foods
Availability of clean drinking water in households
Thanks for listening to me. Will you help me build a better world?
