The Executive Mansion in Monrovia announced that President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has launched a program called the Presidential Clean Cities Initiative. The initiative is presented as a means to improve urban sanitation across the capital and other cities. It also aims to involve young people in keeping cities clean. Observers argue that the program’s success will depend on raising public awareness about hygiene practices. They stress that the media should be incorporated to disseminate information widely. Without such outreach, officials fear the clean‑city goals may not be fully achieved.
