The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) has announced plans to formally collaborate with BuzStopBoys, a leading volunteer group dedicated to sanitation advocacy, as part of efforts to improve city cleanliness across the country.
Speaking during a Facebook live update on discussions and soliciting for ideas on the way forward on the contract between YEA and West Africa’s giant waste management company, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Chief Executive Officer of the YEA, Malik Bansintale, praised the work of BuzStopBoys, emphasizing the Agency’s intention to engage them in multiple projects.
“Let me commend the work being done by the BuzStopBoys. We are determined to work with them to ensure our cities are cleaner,” Mr. Bansintale said.
BuzStopBoys is registered as a non-governmental organization (NGO). They have established a legally registered corporate arm known as Pro BuzStopBoys. This structure will enable the YEA to formally sign contracts and deepen their engagement.
Mr. Bansintale hinted at additional support mechanisms, including the possible provision of manpower, to strengthen the BuzStopBoys’ operations. “We could find a way of supporting them with human resources to ensure that the right things are done,” he added.
The collaboration with BuzStopBoys is seen as a major step towards empowering local initiatives while supporting government efforts to maintain cleaner cities.
