This initiative led by the CWP-Benin (which chairs CANEA) in collaboration with USAID\/Muniwash and SGDS-GN for a synergy of actions with the latter aims to strengthen their capacities in terms of standards to be respected for emptying and dumping. USAID\/Muniwash is already involved in supporting the professionalization of these waste-pickers.<\/p>\n
The training was held on November 16 and 17, 2022 and was attended by more than 45 participants, including 25 AVIPRO waste-pickers, and other actors involved in the management of sewage sludge in Benin. They are actors of the Society of Waste Management and sanitation of Grand Nokou\u00e9 (SGDS-GN), CANEA, the structure “ALLO Vidange” and the city hall of Abomey-Calavi.<\/p>\n
The Grand Nokou\u00e9 includes five communes in southern Benin (Cotonou, Porto-Novo, S\u00e9m\u00e8-Podji, Abomey-Calavi and Ouidah).<\/p>\n
This workshop, which followed the session to identify the training needs of the waste-pickers, held in October 2022, helped to improve the knowledge of the waste-pickers on the regulatory texts of sanitation in Benin through the appropriation of the standards to be followed for the emptying.<\/p>\n
CWP-Benin benefited from the technical support of MuniWash\/USAID and SGDS-GN for the communications.<\/p>\n
At the end of the workshop, a roadmap was adopted including among others:<\/p>\n
– The organization of an extraordinary General Assembly within AVIPRO.<\/p>\n
– The restitution of the training workshop’s achievements to other members who did not take part in this workshop.<\/p>\n
The organization of meetings with the partners of the sector by AVIPRO, in order to inform them of the restructuring in progress within the waste-pickers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
