Being a forum of contaminated land management in Africa, NICOLA has commenced with its expansion further into Africa. The expansion has been divided into two regions namely, NICOLA West Africa and NICOLA East Africa. Two ambassadors have been appointed in both the East African and West African regions, to lead with the establishment of NICOLA’s brand awareness and activities.
The current goal of the African expansion is to:
- Create awareness through our activities of knowledge sharing , networking, and best practices, within the different contaminated land management sectors.
- Collaborate with industries, academic institutions, regulators, service providers and interested parties.
NICOLA hosted its first, East African connect event in September 2022 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and hosted its first virtual West African connect event in June 2023.
