Queen Mary of Denmark visited the Dandora landfills, sparking online discussion in Kenya. The visit is part of a Danida-backed initiative aimed at transforming waste management and creating green economic opportunities.

• The initiative focuses on transitioning informal waste pickers into formal jobs, improving livelihoods and addressing pollution.
• Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Rebecca Miano emphasized the partnership's commitment to Green Growth, Economic Development & Democracy.
• The project aligns with Kenya's Vision 2030 goals and supports resolutions promoted by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).
• Some Kenyans questioned the visit's impact on the country's image, calling the landfill an inappropriate 'tourist attraction.'
• Queen Mary's three-day official visit aims to strengthen bilateral relations and partnerships in climate and development.
