The Jospong Group of Companies, in partnership with Komptech GmbH and with funding support from the Austrian Development Agency, is building the capacity of waste management professionals across Ghana to strengthen sustainable practices and support the nation’s transition into a circular economy.

Zoomlion Ghana Limited has presented a brand-new motorbike to a street cleaner, Mr. Salifu Ibrahim, popularly known as MBA Baba Fiter, in a ceremony at the Lamashegu Chief’s Palace. This final reward fulfils the company’s promise to honour him for his integrity in returning GHC20,000 he found while working in Tamale to the rightful owner. Before this ceremony, Baba Fiter had already been recognised and rewarded for his honest act in various ways.

The Jospong Group of Companies and its international partner Komptech GmbH have undertaken training in Integrated Solid Waste Management, Circular Economy, Composting, Thermal Waste Recovery (Refuse Derived Fuel), Landfill Management and Emissions Treatment for waste management professionals in the Western and Western North regions of Ghana.

The President of Kenya, H.E. Dr. William Samoei Ruto, has commended Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of Jospong Group, for its huge investment in state-of-the-art facilities for providing waste management solutions across African countries. He was particularly impressed with the facilities Zoomlion has deployed to address waste management problems in several African countries.

The 26-member delegation, including members of Parliament (MPs), technical staff members, and administrative personnel, aimed to explore potential areas of collaboration and emulate the Jospong Group’s sanitation module in Kenya. Their visit was to discuss and observe at first-hand how the Jospong Group uses green technologies and state-of-the-art facilities to solve challenges within the environmental sanitation space. The team, after several discussions and touring these eco-friendly facilities, was overwhelmed with the depth of knowledge and expertise exhibited by the Jospong staff. They saw Jospong Group’s solution as one that brings social, environmental, and economic empowerment to the youth.
