The SCEE project focuses on strengthening safety skills capacity in Kenya’s engineering construction sector for sustainability in socio-economic development. The SCEE project is funded through Engineering X, an international collaboration founded by the Royal Academy of Engineering and Lloyd’s Register Foundation in the framework of the Engineering Skills where they are Most Needed (ESMN) initiative. ESMN seeks to support the delivery of skills and education programmes that will lead to development of much-needed engineering skills capacity, enhanced safety standards, and infrastructure that remains safe.
