Norec (Norwegian: Fredskorpset, meaning the Peace Corps) is
a Norwegian governmental body financing two-way mutual personnel exchange
between companies and organizations in Norway and similar companies and
organizations in the global South – that is countries in Africa, Asia, and
Latin America. Previous to 2018, the organization was named FK Norway.
A Norec (FK Norway)-exchange takes place through the mutual
exchange of employees or members between organizations or businesses based in
different countries for a 3-12 months period.
WEEE Centre Kenya is privileged to be one of the
organizations benefiting from the exchange program that is fully funded by the
Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For the 1st cycle of the exchange, The
WEEE Centre Kenya exchanged 2 active staff members with 2 active members of
Vohitra Madagascar. Both organizations deal with environmental conservation by
ensuring proper disposal of waste.
A lot of knowledge has been exchanged between the two
organizations and we are looking to ensure environmental protection in both
countries.
Thanks to NOREC!
