In virtually all African cities one meets young boys moving from one waste dump to the other scavenging for pieces of iron, plastics, glass and carton to resell to recycling plant owners. African populations have well understood the slogan that says “waste is wealth”, and the Business of Recycling is booming. But the wherewithal of transforming the former to the latter is not accessible to all.
African Mega Projects Investors (AMPI) comes into this sector to upscale the innovative Public-Private Partnerships so as to build sustainable cities and create a new generation of rich people on the continent. This will make the environment in our cities healthier and the common man will equally be smiling his way to the bank.
