In June 2025, four CIWM members travelled to The Gambia to support Kanifing Municipal Council’s waste management campaign “Operation Sanity”. A week of site visits, workshops and collaboration highlighted the importance of working internationally to create a world without waste.
This insightful session will highlight firsthand experiences of how international collaboration on waste management is transforming communities, and how this approach to collaborative work can help to share skills and knowledge around plastic pollution, improving recycling systems, and creating green jobs.
The sessions speakers will share their insights, experiences, challenges, and successes from the visit, and reflections on what they hope the impact of the project leaves on the community.
