Description: This report aims to determine the state of e-waste management in Kenya by critically reviewing the corpus on electronic waste (e-waste) management in the country. Even though many studies have been conducted on e-waste management, very few are conducted on developing countries in Sub–Saharan Africa including Kenya who face a significant e-waste management issue. The rapid expansion of ICT in Kenya and the growth of the off-grid solar sector over the past decade has seen the proliferation of e-waste in the country. This e-waste poses a great threat to the environment and to the health of its inhabitants and there is a sense of urgency to act on this problem.
