Development of a training platform on waste recycling ZeroWaste Learning Inspire the Change Pass to Action

Abstract

Uncontrolled and rapid urbanization of some African countries in general and Cameroon in particular; industrialization and modernization of agriculture has caused the deterioration of the environment. One of its most worrying consequences is the management of solid, liquid and toxic waste. Recent “flooding” incidents in Cameroon’s large urban centers (Yaoundé and Douala) show that the problem of waste management has reached such
proportions that the measures taken by the various levels of government and specialists have been proved to be fruitless. It is enough to cross several cities of Cameroon to see the manifestations of this problem: piles of waste, detritus along roads, blocked streams, landfills threatening health in residential areas, and inadequate disposal of toxic waste.
