An initiative by the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC), \u201cClean Your Frontage,\u201d has been launched with the aim to ensure that all households and organisations clean and beautify their frontages to complement the government\u2019s vision of making Accra the cleanest city in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Akufo-Addo launches \u2018Operation Clean Your Frontage\u2019 campaign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The initiative will also see to the training of some 3,000 civilians under the City Responses Team,\u201d and will be mandated to enforce the bye-law to govern the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waste management company, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, has been contracted to create refuse collection points in all the twenty nine (29) Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launching the Clean Your Frontage Campaign at the Independence Square on Friday, October 22, 2021, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was upbeat the initiative will change the mindset of Ghanaians towards the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis campaign is a good step in achieving the vision of making Accra the cleanest city in Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he noted that over the years, the challenges with sanitation had had to do with logistics, enforcement of bye-laws and attitudes of the citizenry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President commended stakeholders in the sanitation sector, especially the collaborating ministries, various political parties as well as the Greater Accra Parliamentary Select Committee and the contribution of Zoomlion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The

He reiterated: \u201cI will do my possible best to make Accra the cleanest city in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While describing the \u201cClean Your Frontage\u201d initiative as very laudable, the Executive Chairman of Jospong Group of Companies (JGC), Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, pledged the support of all private sector waste management players to the success of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He assured further that they will continue to offer their support to the Greater Accra regional minister in his efforts to make Accra the cleanest city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said this initiative will make Ghanaians more responsible in ensuring that their immediate surroundings are always clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, he said, will also offer service providers more space to take care of domestic waste collection at public places and street cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dr Siaw Agyepong since the inception of Zoomlion, a subsidiary of JGC, in 2006, it has made tireless efforts to help improve the country\u2019s sanitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he pointed out that after several years of his company\u2019s operations in the sanitation space, negative attitudes of citizens towards the environment and the lack of enforcing sanitation bye-laws were two key challenges inhibiting a sustainable clean and healthy environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is therefore very heartwarming that upon assumption of office, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Honourable Henry Quartey, launched the “Accra Must Work Campaign\u201d and the “Clean Accra Project, by the immediate past Mayor of Accra and his colleagues to make Accra Clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoomlion, he said, was also making relevant contributions to support the regional\u2019s minister\u2019s quest to make Accra one of the cleanest capitals in Africa, \u201cas well as the nation Ghana as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, he said, Zoomlion has been releasing logistics and equipment to support the Accra Must Work campaign to achieve maximum impact aside from the already deployed logistics for its regular operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to providing personnel, Zoomlion is providing about 85 compactors and 1,000 tricycles to support the campaign, the executive chairman of JGC stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will interest you to know that the company has come out with a new tricycle model and system of operation that will unionise and assist the informal waste collection sector to contribute to the waste management processes in a more formal and organised manner to improve waste collection in slums and poorly planned areas,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, explained that the exercise will train 3,500 youth as a task force under the City Response Team to help polish the Operation Clean Your Frontage agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure effectiveness of the campaign, he hinted that dustbins will be provided from Ayi Mensah down to Ridge roundabout and other major roads within Accra to ensure that these towns are clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He used the opportunity to call on all and sundry to get involved in the campaign by keeping their frontages and surroundings clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
