Abstract
In the global fight for additional world security,
stability and sustainability, the need for enhancing human,
institutional and infrastructure capacity in developing countries
is insistently of dire concern. To enhance the respective
capacities, a concrete structure of technologically equipped
people to efficiently advance their economies, quality and
standard of living are drastically required. Such type of
structure will enable the mixture of foreign capital via pulling
in transnational corporations and establishments to invest in the
developing country, aid in making the most of international aid
funds, and offer a basis for business development by indigenous
entrepreneurs. For these reasons, the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
and World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO)
are intensifying key efforts in developing countries as a
synchronized approach towards technical capacity building.
The paper therefore unpacks some basic attempts and outcomes
by UNESCO and WFEO in empowering competent
engineering and science graduates/ engineers towards building
a sustainable circular economy.
