As part of Bio4HUMAN’s stakeholder mapping work, we created databases of key stakeholders involved in waste management, bio-based solutions and circular economy initiatives in the DRC and South Sudan. 

We have made these databases publicly available below and on Bio4HUMAN’s Zenodo page (here). 

Each database contains an executive summary, with a full explanation and description, an inventory, a section with definitions, and a sheet of stakeholders per sector (industry, humanitarian community, government/policy markers, communities and academia).
