The initial phase of the Mombasa Plastics Prize (MPP), running from September 2022 to May 2023, sought to encourage innovation and awareness among aspiring entrepreneurs and leaders in Mombasa County by inspiring the development of solutions that tackle ocean plastic waste mismanagement within informal settlements.
The MPP Incubator builds on the success of this initial phase and aims to reduce marine plastics waste in Mombasa County by supporting the highest potential teams from the initial phase to progress their working prototypes into sustainable businesses. The incubator, funded by USAID, is being managed by Challenge Works in close collaboration with a range of businesses and hubs working across the innovation ecosystem in Mombasa County.
