#WorldUrbanForum: Strengthening Sub-Saharan Africa’s Waste Management through Informal Sector Engagement @AmacLg is prioritizing inclusive and sustainable urban waste management via the #Abuja Urban Lab—a first in #Nigeria. This initiative creates a platform to integrate the public sector, private operators, civil society, and informal sector actors into one cohesive governance framework.

Abuja is working to formalise #wastepickers through legislation and capacity-building efforts, improving working conditions, occupational safety, basic equipment, and raising awareness for better recognition. ~ Hannatu Ibrahim Environment Head, Abuja Municipal Area Council, Nigeria

♀️ #GenderEquality matters for African municipalities wanting to address #ClimateChange & improve access to energy. We support these efforts by providing our signatories with practical resources to co-create gender-responsive projects at the local level⤵️🖱️bit.ly/3gF88qx

Climate actions must be #gender responsive. A #CoMSSA study, in partnership with @AFD_en, found that in #Nouakchott, lack of public lighting affects social and economic life for all but certain groups are more affected by the negative impacts. 🖱️🔗 bit.ly/3f285or

La lutte contre le #changementclimatique et l'amélioration de l'accès à l'énergie doivent être un processus inclusif menant à des résultats significatifs pour tous·tes On s'engage donc à intégrer le #genre dans nos activités et projets. 👷‍♀️ #CoMSSADay #JournéeCoMSSA #SMDC2022

Explains @CoMOSSAfrica’s Gender analysis guides for the development of projects for local governments and those interested in designing their own action plans dedicated to integrating #gender. Vanessa Vovor, Project Advisor @giztransport @vanessavvr #SMDC2022

♀️ A special focus on #gender will ensure the position of #women in #ClimateChange is accurately represented throughout the #SEACAP Toolbox. In turn, this can support your town, city or region to create an inclusive #ClimateAction plan ⤵️ comssa.org/seacap-toolbox…

@napilicaio Enfin !! Bravo, je précommande tout de suite !

Une majorité d’eurodéputés a décidé d’accorder la décharge budgétaire à @Frontex. ➡️C’est un vote incompréhensible, alors que l’agence refuse depuis des années de suivre nos recommandations, notamment sur droits fondamentaux! Pour savoir ce qu'ont voté les élus Belges 👇

"It was clear that all the folks who were using the #metoo hashtag, and all the Hollywood actors who came forward with their allegations, needed the same thing that the little Black girls in Selma needed—space to be seen and heard. time.com/6097392/tarana…

@MhmnCadeau Le courage de ça! Quand tu sais que c’est un petit milieu.
