The awards were announced at the "Let’s Do It World" Annual Virtual Conference 2021 held in Munich, Germany.

As part of the awards, Let’s Do It Ghana received certificates of appreciation and recognition during the conference which could open up partnership opportunities for the organisation.

Mrs Kate Opoku, the Country Director of "Let's Do It Ghana" in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, expressed her gratitude to all stakeholders, whose support and dedication, she said, have brought the organisation that far.

She said the awards were in recognition of her organisation hard work and exceptional contribution to promoting sanitation and sustainable waste management in Ghana.

Mrs. Opoku who was also one of Africa’s keynote speakers at the conference, indicated that the awards would motivate Let’s Do It Ghana to step up its environmental education and advocacy to help promote clean communities in Ghana.

Part of the certificate read: “Thank you for your contribution! Let’s Do It World Global Network is grateful and proud with your work to achieve waste-free world".

She said: "Announcing the awards, the President and Head of Global Network of Let’s Do It World, Heidi Solba said, “after rigorous selection process, we are pleased to announce Let’s Do It Ghana as winners of the best Brand Audit Conductors and the most Impactful Photos during the World Clean-Up Day 2020”.

Ms. Solba, Mrs Opoku said, also expressed her delight at the continuous partnership with Let’s Do It Ghana in implementing educational programmes on sanitation and waste management aimed at promoting clean environment.

During World Clean-up Day 2020, eleven million volunteers from 166 countries participated and collected 43 thousand tonnes of waste.
