Paynesville – In an effort to address the menace of improper waste disposal, the Union of Liberian Associations in the Americas (ULAA) and the Paynesville City Corporation (PCC) have launched a Solid Waste Management Project in the City of Paynesville. The project is funded by the Liberian Diaspora Initiative Fund (LDIF), which focuses on health, education, technology and entrepreneurship. Mr. Kamara said the partnership with the PCC is unique as ULAA does not have the capacity to implement projects in Liberia by itself. The organization has provided a grant of US$2664 for the implementation of the first phase of the project which targets drainages within Paynesville. Diggen pointed out that maintaining a proper solid waste management system is a challenge for municipal authorities in the country.
