The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has reaffirmed its commitment to environmental sustainability by awarding funding to Climate Acts LBG, a youth led climate organization for its Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Source Separation project in Jamestown.
The initiative is part of efforts by the assembly to empower young people through the Accra Youth Climate Action Fund (AYCAF), a program launched in April 2024 with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
The MSW Source Separation project aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Accra by encouraging proper waste management practices.
By raising awareness about the importance of source separation among at least 50 households, the project is set to contribute to Ghana's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and promote sustainable practices at the community level.
