Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC), has announced a landmark engagement with the President of Zanzibar, Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, aimed at revamping waste management and enhancing environmental sustainability.

The high-level meeting marks a significant milestone in Zoomlion’s Africa Expansion Agenda to deploy cutting-edge, sustainable sanitation solutions across the continent. It also reflects a shared commitment to addressing the growing waste management challenges in Africa through innovation, strategic partnerships, and long-term vision.

“We had a very fruitful meeting with His Excellency President Mwinyi, where we discussed transformative approaches to waste management that are both practical and forward-looking,” said Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group.

Dr. Agyepong noted that the partnership with Zanzibar is part of Zoomlion’s broader strategy to collaborate with progressive African governments to create cleaner, healthier, and more resilient cities and communities.

“At Zoomlion, we believe that waste is not just a challenge—it is an opportunity for innovation, employment, and sustainable development,” Dr. Agyepong emphasized.

“Our vision aligns with that of Zanzibar’s leadership: to build a cleaner, greener future for generations to come,” he added.

The meeting explored a range of potential interventions, including the deployment of waste sorting and recycling technologies, the development of engineered landfill systems, and the introduction of community-based waste collection models designed to create jobs and stimulate local economies.

President Mwinyi expressed strong interest in Zoomlion’s proven track record in Ghana and other African countries, underscoring the importance of such expertise in supporting Zanzibar’s environmental and tourism goals.

Zoomlion assured its commitment to supporting the Government of Zanzibar through technical expertise, investment, and capacity-building initiatives to ensure the success of this ambitious transformation.
