In November 2022, WHAE delivered an environmental preservation training to all regional staff in Addis Ababa at the Inter-Luxury Hotel on recycling, waste management, energy conservation, community participation, and advocacy.
Based on the training, Harar, Chancho, Debre Berhan, and Jimma coordinated initiatives to raise awareness of environmental preservation from November to December 2022 by putting up posters, placing waste bins in the streets, hosting community meetings, and giving speeches. The four regions mobilized about 1270 community members and engaged local government officials.
