The European Union is financing a project aimed at modernizing waste management in Luanda, Angola. The city generates between 6,000 and 8,000 tons of waste daily, but its recycling rate remains below 5%. The initiative will focus on strengthening governance and regulation within the waste management sector. Details of the funding amount were not disclosed, but the project signals a commitment to improving environmental sustainability in the Angolan capital. The project intends to address the significant gap between waste production and effective recycling efforts. This investment aims to create a more efficient and environmentally responsible waste disposal system for Luanda’s growing population. Ultimately, the goal is to improve public health and reduce environmental pollution.
