This technology will enable the efficient and environmentally friendly disposal of waste, significantly reducing the risk of public health risks.

• Improved public health: The minimized risk of disease transmission and reduced opportunity for pests and rodents to breed in unhygienic conditions.
• Environmental protection: Proper waste disposal will prevent pollution of air, water, and soil, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.
• Economic benefits: By providing a reliable waste management system, the project will stimulate local economic growth, attract foreign investment, and create jobs.

The African Union Mission in Somalia has committed to implementing the waste incinerator, working closely with local authorities, including the Somali government, to ensure its successful operation and maintenance. The project’s success is contingent upon a collaborative effort to establish effective waste segregation, collection, and transportation systems.

Conclusion

The African Union Mission in Somalia’s donation of a state-of-the-art waste incinerator marks a significant step forward in the fight against waste management challenges in Mogadishu. This project demonstrates the organization’s commitment to supporting the reconstruction and development of Somalia, and its people. As the incinerator is installed, the people of Mogadishu look forward to a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future.
