In 2020, MAPLE Microdevelopment founded the Mbale Center for Innovation and Design (MCID) to empower creative design thinking and community action related to environmental preservation and economic agency in the Mt. Elgon region of Eastern Uganda. With the increasing threat of climate change and the growth of the Ugandan economy and city infrastructure, MCID aims to bridge the gap between local community traditions and design for ecological and economic resilience in a region impacted by the legacy of colonisation and technology implementation that neglects ancestral knowledge, community needs, and socio-ecological values.
To assist in the development of MCID programs and curriculum, we are asking our allies to support MAPLE Microdevelopment to work with community traditions in the Mt. Elgon region ofUganda to co-design tools to influence and improve the design, adoption, and impact of technologies, with a focus on sacred natural sites, environmental preservation, circular economies, and economic agency.
