CEMESP will also, design and launch a competition targeting high schools and youth in communities in Greater Monrovia and organize joint actions on World Earth day and world environment day. Mr Joseph also expressed hope that after the training the journalists “will be equipped with the required skills” they need to report effectively on waste management and the environment. On Feb 2, 2021, CEMESP was awarded a six months Contract by the United Nations Office for Projects (UNOPS) . Making remarks on behalf of City Alliance, the head of Outreach and Education Yondeh Moore said the idea behind the training sterns from the fact that journalists are not versed with terminologies used in reporting on solid waste management and the environment. “Going forward,” she said, “we hope to have reporters in the greater Monrovia area developed their capacities concerning solid waste management and climate resilience journalism”.
