As part of the implementation of the project Strengthening the Dialogue between Civil Society and the Maputo City Council in Solid Waste Management, the AMOR (Mozambican Association of Municipalities of Mozambique), funded by the French Embassy through Innovative Projects of Civil Society and Coalition of Actors (PISCCA), In May, developed activities in the three micro-enterprises for the primary collection of solid waste, namely: ASSOCODECHA, Kutenga and Maktel Bacissa, located in the neighborhoods of Chamanculo C, Maxaquene B and Hulene A respectively.
These activities consisted of: Consolidation of training on soap production, where 16 solid waste collection operators and their managers participated in the production of soap by recycling cooking oil, whose objective was to strengthen and improve the knowledge and skills of trainees in soap production procedures, by artisanal means. During this process 114 bars of soap of different sizes and sizes were produced, approximately 30 liters of used oil being recycled.
In addition to the consolidation of soap production, 20 operators of the three associations were formed in the production of coal from the recycling of organic waste. This was held at Xipamanine Camp, where the Municipal Directorate of Health and Cemeteries made us available for this activity.
Operators and their managers also had the opportunity to participate in the training on the Integrated Urban Solid Waste Management Plan (PGIRSU), where they had the opportunity to know what it is, its structure and its relevance.
The representatives of Innovative Projects of Civil Society and Coalition of Actors (PISCCA) also visited two associations for the primary collection of solid wastes, namely: Maktel Bacissa and Kutenga, with the objective of monitoring the implementation of the activities in the beneficiary associations, particularly the impact of training on waste reuse and recycling.
