The Inshiri region in Mauritania is gearing up for a massive clean-up campaign, which will cover markets, residential areas, and schools. The initiative, led by regional authorities, aims to promote public health and hygiene. The campaign is in response to a call by President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani to launch a national effort to clean up cities across the country. The campaign will involve administrative authorities, local government officials, and representatives from civil society.
The campaign's launch was preceded by a preparatory meeting chaired by Inshiri Governor Moulay Idriss Ould Elsass Ould Akik. The meeting, held at the Akjoujt Youth Center, brought together stakeholders from various sectors, including government, local government, and civil society. Governor Ould Elsass emphasized the importance of cleanliness in maintaining public health and safety, and encouraged all stakeholders to take responsibility for keeping their communities clean.
Governor Ould Elsass highlighted that cleanliness is not just an urban issue, but a national one that requires a collective effort. He stressed that it is not just the responsibility of the state or local government, but also that of citizens and property owners. The governor's remarks were echoed by Akjoujt Deputy Mayor Ibrahim Ould Tebakh, who welcomed the campaign as a much-needed initiative to address the region's waste management challenges.
The clean-up campaign will focus on eliminating black spots, or areas with high levels of waste accumulation. According to Inshiri Governor's Office Director Sid Ahmed Ould Mohamed, a total of 13 black spots have been identified in Akjoujt, and plans are underway to establish designated waste collection points in coordination with local community leaders. The campaign will also designate the first Wednesday of every month as a clean-up day across the city.
The campaign has garnered support from various stakeholders, including local residents, who see it as an opportunity to improve their living environment. The initiative is also expected to raise awareness about the importance of cleanliness and proper waste management. By working together, regional authorities and local communities hope to make a significant impact on public health and hygiene in the Inshiri region.
The preparatory meeting was attended by various dignitaries, including the Deputy Governor of Inshiri, the Assistant Governor of Akjoujt, and security officials. The campaign's success will depend on the continued involvement and commitment of all stakeholders. With a comprehensive plan in place, the Inshiri region is poised to make significant strides in improving its cleanliness and public health.
The clean-up campaign in Inshiri is part of a broader national effort to promote cleanliness and public health. President El Ghazouani's call to action has resonated with communities across Mauritania, who recognize the importance of working together to address the country's development challenges.
