Pioneering waste management solutions in the Gambia


As countries grapple with the burgeoning issues of waste management, finding sustainable solutions is paramount. This is true even for The Gambia, Africa’s smallest mainland country. Although home to fewer than 3 million people, The Gambia produces over 700 tons of solid waste daily. Approximately, 83.6% of this waste is inadequately managed,[1] which threatens human health and the environment while also exacerbating the effects of climate change. https://www.unep.org/technical-highlight/pioneering-waste-management-solutions-gambia
