According to the Menchum Divisional Delegate of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Chebisuh Emmanuel Neba , the national competition since its inception in 2019, has greatly encouraged local initiatives in issues of hygiene and sanitation through public sensitization as well as the actions of some local development association. The population of most neighborhoods benefitted from actions to improve drainage and sewage disposals, cleaning of gutters, the collection and disposal of several tons of plastic bottles from water courses in towns and villages around the country. There has been the general mobilization of all associations and other development groups in the quarters as a result of this competition.

 

The objectives of the "clean town" competition from the global front according to the Divisional Delegate of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Chebisuh Emmanuel Neba, is to select the Cleanest Council within the Division that will compete at the Regional Level ahead of the National Competition.

 


Also, organized at the level of the Division, this competition aims at sensitizing and mobilizing actors of the operation for the rehabilitation of urban space and the living environment, while promoting and sustaining local initiatives in matters of hygiene and sanitation.

Above all, the competition has gone a long way to enhance national mobilization for hygiene and sanitation as well as the beautification of several towns in the country.
