Every day, informal sector waste workers across Ghana sort, collect, and process waste that keeps our communities clean and materials in circulation.
Their work sustains Ghana’s waste economy, yet it has long gone unrecognized and under-protected.
On July 31, we’re launching the Federation of Informal Sector Waste Workers Associations of Ghana (FISWWAG), a union giving these workers a formal, recognized voice.
FISWWAG will push for safer working conditions, fair pay, and dignified livelihoods for the men and women who do this essential work.
The social and economic protection of our informal waste workers is key to ensuring a just transition and green future for all.
