The Government of Guinea and the Lives and Livelihoods Fund have provided 56 sanitation trucks to the National Agency for Public Hygiene and Sanitation (ANASP) under the Ministry of Hydraulics and Sanitation to address challenges linked to urgent solid waste disposal in the poorest parts of the city.
The handing over of the trucks is aimed at confronting the challenges posed by Conakry’s rapid urban growth, the environmental impact of which is the worsening of living conditions of the population.
Indeed, Guinea has experienced rapid urban population growth, with the number of people living in urban areas rising from 16.6% in 1971 to 36.9% in 2020. Within 10 years, it is estimated that more than half of the Guinea population will live urbanised.
