Zoomlion Ghana sanitation and fumigation activities

Overview

Zoomlion Ghana Limited has been involved in various sanitation and fumigation projects across the country. In early August, the company addressed issues regarding salary arrears for workers on the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDA) fumigation project, stating that payments would be made once delayed government funds are released. By late August, the company expanded its operations by launching a free emergency disinfection campaign in Ghana’s Western Region. This initiative targets flood-affected communities, including the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis and the Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipality, to mitigate risks of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and malaria by treating stagnant water and public spaces.

On August 21, the company launched a large-scale disinfestation and fumigation campaign across all 33 Municipal and District Assemblies in the Eastern Region, scheduled to run until September 30. On August 27, Zoomlion initiated a week-long disinfection and disinfestation campaign across all 15 municipalities and districts in the Upper East Region to minimize disease outbreak risks during the peak rainy season.

In early September, the company expanded these efforts into the Volta Region, conducting exercises across all 18 municipalities and districts in collaboration with the Volta Regional Coordinating Council. This initiative, targeting markets, lorry parks, schools, and public toilets, is scheduled to conclude on September 19. Additionally, in the Western North Region, Zoomlion conducted a two-day operation in the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality, focusing on municipal assembly premises, markets, and refuse sites to combat sanitation-related illnesses such as typhoid and malaria. These regional efforts are being provided free of charge as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility programs.
