As part of the Community Support Program funded by USAID and implemented by Chemonics, the Chair of “Fondation Diane CEEDD” implemented a training program targeting the municipality of Makse and 19 municipalities of the Koura area in order to raise the citizens’ awareness on the importance of sorting waste at its source as well as the environmental and health impacts associated with waste pollution.

Following the training, each municipality will implement one awareness campaign coached by the Chair thus reaching the community and raising awareness on a larger scale.

Under this scope, the project manager Ms Dounia el Dick and the CEEDD team conducted 20 inception meetings in all the targeted municipalities between June 29th 2022 and July 15th 2022 to introduce them to the project and the support CSP will be providing, (64 metal bins of 600-liters capacity to collect recyclable items (plastic, carton, paper). Also, during those meetings, the needs and concerns of the municipalities were assessed and will be implemented in the trainings. After the meeting, each municipality communicated the names of volunteers who undertook the trainings that started in September 2022.
