Policy Brief: Enhancing Financial Security for Sanitation Workers in Arusha Center for Community Initiatives ()

Sanitation workers in Arusha, particularly the Arusha Deport Group (ADG) manual emptiers, are vital in maintaining urban health and hygiene. Despite their importance, these workers face persistent financial insecurity due to income variability, lack of social protection, and exclusion from formal financial systems. This policy brief outlines actionable recommendations to address these challenges, including formalizing employment, improving access to financial services, enforcing occupational health and safety standards, and fostering community respect for sanitation workers. These reforms are essential for improving the livelihoods, dignity, and financial resilience of sanitation workers.
