GEORGETOWN, GUYANA – The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has launched its Mashramani float and costume band, with a focus on solid waste management as part of its campaign for cleaner communities.
The initiative aligns with this year’s Mashramani theme, “Expressing our Culture and Creativity as One Guyana,” while incorporating the Ministry’s specific message, “Cleaner Communities for a Brighter, Prosperous Guyana.”
The emphasis is on addressing improper waste disposal across the country and promoting sustainable waste management practices.
