The Centre for Environmental Justice and Development (CEJAD) made significant strides in 2024, advancing its mission to promote sound chemicals and waste management for a healthier environment. 

Key achievements included influencing policy discussions at national and international levels, empowering grassroots communities, and promoting multi-stakeholder collaborations. Highlights include sensitising over 350 people on zero waste, training 2,700 miners on sustainable practices, and advocating for the elimination of toxic chemicals in plastics and lead in paint. CEJAD also expanded its impact through regional and global engagements, such as participating in plastics treaty negotiations and hosting events to drive environmental justice. 

The report underlines CEJAD’s commitment to a just and sustainable society, supported by dedicated staff, partners, and donors. Initiatives like waste picker integration, ozone layer protection, and pesticide risk reduction demonstrate tangible progress. Awards and recognitions further validate CEJAD’s leadership in environmental advocacy. As the organisation looks ahead to 2025, it remains focused on amplifying its impact through research, collaboration, and community-driven solutions.
