#WorldUrbanForum: Strengthening Sub-Saharan Africa’s Waste Management through Informal Sector Engagement

@AmacLg is prioritizing inclusive and sustainable urban waste management via the #Abuja Urban Lab—a first in #Nigeria. This initiative creates a platform to integrate the public sector, private operators, civil society, and informal sector actors into one cohesive governance framework. More info 🔗https://t.co/Vsewn5vqlZ

#Informal #waste collectors and recyclers in Abuja handle a significant share of waste sorting, particularly recyclable materials, reducing landfill volumes.

Abuja is working to formalise #wastepickers through legislation and capacity-building efforts, improving working conditions, occupational safety, basic equipment, and raising awareness for better recognition.

♀️ #GenderEquality matters for African municipalities wanting to address #ClimateChange & improve access to energy. We support these efforts by providing our signatories with practical resources to co-create gender-responsive projects at the local level⤵️🖱️https://t.co/ftLJHUwtIO

Climate actions must be #gender responsive. A #CoMSSA study, in partnership with @AFD_en, found that in #Nouakchott, lack of public lighting affects social and economic life for all but certain groups are more affected by the negative impacts.

La lutte contre le #changementclimatique et l'amélioration de l'accès à l'énergie doivent être un processus inclusif menant à des résultats significatifs pour tous·tes On s'engage donc à intégrer le #genre dans nos activités et projets. 👷‍♀️

♀️ A special focus on #gender will ensure the position of #women in #ClimateChange is accurately represented throughout the #SEACAP Toolbox.

In turn, this can support your town, city or region to create an inclusive #ClimateAction plan ⤵️

Une majorité d’eurodéputés a décidé d’accorder la décharge budgétaire à @Frontex.
➡️C’est un vote incompréhensible, alors que l’agence refuse depuis des années de suivre nos recommandations, notamment sur droits fondamentaux!
Pour savoir ce qu'ont voté les élus Belges 👇

"It was clear that all the folks who were using the #metoo hashtag, and all the Hollywood actors who came forward with their allegations, needed the same thing that the little Black girls in Selma needed—space to be seen and heard.
