The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has unveiled a new Solid Waste Optimisation Strategy focused on overhauling waste management practices within the city. The initiative prioritizes source separation and composting to minimize landfill waste and its associated environmental impacts. A key goal is to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by waste disposal. The strategy also aims to improve public health outcomes through enhanced sanitation and waste collection systems. This plan represents Accra’s commitment to becoming a climate-responsive city with a low-emissions waste sector. The AMA anticipates the strategy will contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly urban environment for residents.
