Awareness campaign: 'Eco-citizenship for sustainable consumption'

[Translated from FAC-CI's report] Despite the period of execution of the project marked by a strong electoral campaign (municipal and regional elections in Côte d'Ivoire), we say that we have achieved our short and medium term objectives for Green Action Week. We managed to: • Organize the awareness campaign; • Mobilize the high schools of three (03) secondary schools of Vavoua; • Set up the three (03) eco-citizenship clubs; • Establish a permanent framework for sanitation actions through the local health committee composed of eco-citizenship clubs, civil society organizations and representatives of the local administration. Our initiative to raise the awareness of students in particular and Vavoua consumer communities in general about the need to use good practices in health and eco-citizenship. The great interest shown by school leaders, students, members of civil society organizations and administrative authorities shows that there is a great need for strategies and methods for managing household waste both in schools and in schools. communities. The provision of health kits to schools and related good practices were welcomed by the administrative authorities and all stakeholders. The president of the FAC-CI recommended to the various clubs and to the local safety committee to open themselves to the social networks in order to share their actions with the other communities. In view of all the above, the beneficiaries of the kits solemnly made the following commitments: • Make good use of health kits; • Disclose good practices in their respective institutions and communities; • Sustain the actions of Green Action Week in the locality of Vavoua; • Share their actions on social networks.
