NGO assists farmers in the management of waste

Abono Organic Farming Project (ABOFAP), a Techiman-based non-governmental organisation, has distributed 1,000 dustbins to 500 households at Forikrom in the Techiman Municipality to collect organic waste for recycling into compost for use as organic manure.

The project is being funded by Global Enterprise Facility (GEF) under the auspices of UNDP for small grant programme for farmers.

Nana Kwaw Adams, Executive Director of ABOFAP and Twafohene of Forikrom, told the GNA that the project would enable the farmers reduce waste by segregating waste into organic compost and urged them to take the programme serious for their benefit.
