A delegation from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and Africa Environmental Sanitation Consult (AFESC), the research and consultancy firm of Jospong Group of Companies and Sanitation giants, Zoomlion, is in Kigali, the Rwandan capital.
The delegation is in Rwanda to understudy that country’s waste management system and good environmental and sanitation practices.

Members of the delegation include environmental and sanitation experts from AMA and AFESC and some selected journalists.
The Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive Mohammed Adjei Sowah, and the Managing Director (MD) of AFESC, Dr Abena Asomaning Antwi, are co-leaders of the delegation, African Entertainment gathered.

Addressing journalists at the start of the visit, Mr. Sowah said “we are here to learn about their waste management system and the good sanitation practices that we can replicate to make Accra and Ghana clean as we further collaborate to establish a sister city relations with Kigali”.
He was hopeful that at the end of the visit “we would have learnt something that the city of Kigali is doing to establish their status as the cleanest city in Africa”.
