The Agbogbloshie Sanitation Crisis: Why One of Accra’s Largest Markets is Choking

Ghana is set to mark World Cleanup Day with a nationwide National Sanitation Day exercise on Saturday, October 3, 2026.

The exercise will bring people across the country together to clean their communities and public spaces.

Residents, community groups, organisations and other stakeholders are expected to take part in the cleanup.

The exercise is also expected to create awareness about proper waste disposal and the need to keep Ghana clean.

Beyond the cleanup, the initiative aims to encourage Ghanaians to make sanitation a daily responsibility.
