Re|Root calls for proactive investment in sanitation to tackle flooding and waste crisis

To address the canker, US-Ghana-based advocacy group Re|Root Collaborative is urging citizens and government to shift from reactive disaster spending to proactive investment in sanitation infrastructure to tackle Ghana’s growing waste and flooding challenges.

In an interview with JoyNews, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Re|Root Collaborative, Anysa Santitini, said waste management remains a low priority in Ghana.

Operating in Kumasi, Ghana, alongside a US-based support team, Re|Root partners with local communities, market groups, and district authorities to design sustainable, community-centred solutions to waste management challenges while creating new economic opportunities from reclaimed materials.
