The Make Adentan Clean Again (MACA) project was launched in the Adentan constituency of Ghana to promote cleanliness, environmental sustainability, and community empowerment. Led by Akosua Asaa Manu, the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary candidate, and Amanda Sumabe, founder of Waste Right Africa, the initiative aims to educate residents on waste segregation, recycling, and community clean-ups. The project aligns with the President’s vision of a clean city and the NPP’s commitment to citizens’ wellbeing. During a recent clean-up event, Manu emphasized the importance of collective effort and individual responsibility in maintaining a clean environment. The project seeks to engage residents, schools, and local businesses in promoting sustainable practices and driving positive change. By working together, the community can transform Adentan into a clean, healthy, and prosperous constituency.

She added that, “This initiative, however, requires the active involvement and commitment of all Adentan residents. Together, we can transform our neighborhoods into clean, safe, and aesthetically pleasing spaces. Maintaining cleanliness not only improves the quality of life for residents but also acts as a magnet for potential investors and tourists, boosting the socio-economic development of our constituency. To let that happen, it starts with us.”

Akosua Manu also known as Kozie Manu, in her address, emphasized the importance of taking sanitation issues seriously and working together to transform Adentan into a clean and healthy community.

This project closely aligns with the President’s vision of making our city clean. It epitomizes the NPP’s commitment to enhancing the wellbeing of citizens by promoting cleanliness and ensuring a sustainable environment.

Kozie Manu indicated that, the MACA project is not limited to one-time clean-up exercises; it aims to cultivate a culture of cleanliness and responsibility among residents.

She said it also seeks to empower individuals to take ownership of their surroundings and actively contribute to the beautification of Adentan.
