The Association of Journalists in Health, Population, and Development, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), launched a food hygiene awareness campaign for female food vendors at the Pikine market bus station in Senegal. 

During the initiative, vendors discussed hygiene responsibilities. While some participants emphasized following sanitary rules and using wastewater drainage systems, others argued that maintaining cleanliness in public spaces is a responsibility that should fall on local authorities and market management.
