Zoomlion Ghana Limited and Geo Pomona Waste Management (Pvt) Ltd. of Zimbabwe have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen waste management systems through a strategic Ghana-Zimbabwe partnership.
The agreement was signed at Peduase Lodge in Accra, in the presence of senior government officials and private sector representatives from both countries.
The partnership aims to enhance waste management operations by sharing technology, technical expertise, and best practices to improve sanitation and environmental sustainability.
Key areas of collaboration include waste collection, processing, recycling, and disposal systems in Zimbabwe.
Under the MoU, Zoomlion will leverage its extensive experience in integrated waste management, drawing on operations in Ghana, where it has established more than 36 waste recycling and processing facilities.
Geo Pomona will provide local knowledge and operational capacity within Zimbabwe’s waste sector.
Officials said the collaboration will help address challenges posed by rapid urbanisation, rising waste volumes, and environmental concerns in Zimbabwe.
The partnership is also expected to promote sustainable practices such as recycling and waste-to-energy initiatives.
The agreement forms part of broader efforts to encourage intra-African collaboration and the exchange of homegrown solutions to development challenges.
If successfully implemented, the partnership could contribute to cleaner urban environments, improved landfill management, increased recycling activities, and job creation in Zimbabwe.
Implementation activities are expected to begin shortly, following the formal signing of the MoU.
