These pages describe the outcome of a two-day interactive workshop in Nairobi (Kenya), in March 2017. The British Geological Survey (BGS) gathered 32 delegates from 22 organisations in Kenya to explore sustainable development priorities in eastern Africa and consider the role of Earth and environmental science. This workshop was an activity of the BGS Eastern Africa Official Development Assistance (ODA) Research Platform. We used a collaborative approach to foster dialogue and gather information to inform future planning of BGS ODA activities.
