In Conakry, sanitation problems are visible through waste accumulation, blocked drains, recurring hotspots and rainy-season flooding risks. What is visible on the street is only one part of a wider service chain.
Public authorities indicated in 2024 that the Dar-Es-Salam landfill was receiving between 1,200 and 1,800 tonnes of waste per day.
The problem begins before waste reaches the street
