Waste containers were distributed in selected locations across the neighborhood. The project aims to engage stakeholders and civic society as active champions in their communities. By engaging the local community and raising awareness through training and public participation, the project aimed to ultimately result in a reduced impact on the environment, an instilled sense of responsibility and ownership, and the empowerment of individuals and stakeholder entities as active citizens.
