Monrovia-Golden Waste Solutions Enterprise Inc., through its Community Waste Management Project, has advanced endeavors to address the pressing issue of waste management in Paynesville City and its environs.
As an initial phase, of the organization’s Community Waste Management Project, Golden Waste Solutions Enterprise Inc., has trained 105 students from various schools in Paynesville, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to become champions of sustainable waste management within their respective communities.
These students, according to the organization President, Kadiatu A. Sheriff, have since been serving as ambassadors, sharing their learning experiences with their peers, families, and neighbors, and that building on the success of their initial training program was important.
Miss Sheriff said the project has its focus of reaching a total of 420 beneficiaries by the end of its implementation but with key emphasis on reaching an additional 315 individuals from Paynesville’s markets and homes, which will amplify the project.
This expansion, according to her, will ensure that the beneficiaries extend beyond the school walls, engaging a broader cross-section of the community.
“The plan is to recruit and train 210 individuals from the local markets and households and an additional 105 from schools in the Paynesville area,” Kiadiatu Sheriff told the media recently when they implemented the project in Paynesville.
She believed, this comprehensive approach, would create a ripple effect, empowering diverse stakeholders to adopt and champion sustainable waste management practices.
According to the Waste Management Practitioner, the success of the project will thus far be possible through strong collaborative partnerships, that will be established with the local schools.
Miss Sheriff further explained that by building on these foundations, the team is now exploring opportunities to forge new alliances with community-based organizations, waste management companies, and local authorities.
In these partnerships, she maintained, would provide support and ensure the long-term sustainability of the project.
“By aligning with key stakeholders, the team can better coordinate efforts, share best practices, and create and recommend a cohesive framework for waste management in the Paynesville region,” Miss Sheriff added.
Therefore, as a means of measuring the Impact of the project and refining strategies, she hopes remains as the project expands its reach, the team will remain committed to closely monitoring and evaluating its progress.
However, Miss Sheriff noted that the success of the project will be made possible if regular data are collected and analysis is done to help identify areas of success and opportunities for improvement, allowing the project to adapt and refine its strategies as needed.
“The ultimate goal is to create a replicable model of community-driven waste management that can be scaled and implemented in other parts of Paynesville and beyond. By empowering individuals, fostering collaborative partnerships, and continuously improving the project’s approach, the community waste management initiative is poised to drive sustainable change and transform the way waste is managed in the region.” Miss Sheriff added.
Also speaking during the project, Janet S. Johnnie, Vice President of Golden Solutions, explained that the institution held a prior inception meeting that brought together various stakeholders, including, school administrators, volunteers, and other relevant individuals to ensure that everyone involved aligned with its objective, thus keeping everyone on the same pace.
