Traditionally BEENA helps strengthen and enhance projects in six areas. ‘Ecological Sustainability’, which looks at environmental engineering, green buildings, water management, sustainable sanitation, water and air pollution control, solid waste management and renewable energy. ‘Food and Agriculture’, with a focus on organic farming, food waste reduction, malnutrition control and local food production. Education, with initiatives aimed at fortifying the skills of younger generations and raising awareness of sustainable development. ‘Urban and Architecture’ projects, concentrating on issues such as the reconstruction of inadequate rural and urban settlements. ‘Social Development’ schemes, which seek to improve the life standards of rural and poor communities, and last but not least ‘Information and Communications Technology’ projects that ultimately facilitate sustainable development activities.
