The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), in collaboration with the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK), the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK), and the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), has successfully launched the WFEO Engineering Capacity Building for Africa Programme (ECBAP) at the United Nations Complex, in Nairobi.

This milestone event marks a new era of engineering excellence aimed at strengthening Africa's engineering education, professional development, and infrastructure capacity.

Under the theme "Belt and Road Initiatives in Engineering Capacity Building: Innovative Infrastructure Solutions to Achieve SDGs through Smart Partnerships with CAST and African Engineering Organizations," the event brought together global engineering leaders, policymakers, academia, and industry experts to forge solutions for Africa's engineering challenges.

Key highlights of the event saw a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Signing between CAST, IEK, and EBK to strengthen collaborations in engineering capacity development, skills enhancement, and research partnerships.
