Community-Driven Waste Management in Kétao

In Kétao, in northeastern Togo, efforts are underway to improve public health and the environment through an expanded and sustainable waste management system. Following a successful pilot phase, in which around 250 households participated in a community-driven waste project, the next phase aims to:

• Enable waste-to-value production and promote a circular economy
• Strengthen the capacity of the local NGO ADSA
• Engage the Binah 2 municipality
• Provide waste management education in schools

The goal is to establish an economically and socially sustainable system that is both driven by and embedded in the local community, while also increasing public and political support for waste management.
