Zoomlion Ghana Limited is proud to announce a pivotal engagement with the President of Zanzibar, His Excellency Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, focused on charting a new course for waste management and environmental sustainability on the island.
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 tackling the growing waste management challenges in Africa through innovation, partnership, 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 of Companies, the parent company of Zoomlion Ghana Limited.
Dr. Agyepong noted that the partnership with Zanzibar forms part of Zoomlion’s broader strategy to work with progressive African governments to create cleaner, healthier, and more resilient cities and communities.
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 that create jobs and stimulate local economies.
President Mwinyi expressed strong interest in Zoomlion’s proven track record in Ghana and other African countries, highlighting the need for such expertise to support Zanzibar’s environmental and tourism goals.
“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 is aligned with that of Zanzibar’s leadership: to build a cleaner, greener future for generations to come.”
Zoomlion Ghana Limited remains committed to supporting the Government of Zanzibar with technical expertise, investment, and capacity-building initiatives that will ensure the success of this ambitious transformation.
As the continent continues to confront urbanization, climate change, and environmental degradation, Zoomlion stands ready to lead the way—one partnership, one innovation, and one country at a time.
