## Resource

What does circular economy progress look like when it starts at community level? In this episode of Beyond Waste, host Richard Hudson (CIWM) is joined by voices from across the Dennakuwo partnership to reflect on three years of collaboration in The Gambia. Drawing on the newly released WasteAid–CIWM impact report, the conversation explores how skills, confidence, and local leadership can transform resource and waste management from the ground up. From setting the wider context of waste, sanitation and circularity in The Gambia, to supporting green enterprises, behaviour change and local authority engagement, this episode offers a grounded look at how sustainable change happens when communities are empowered to lead it themselves. Richard Hudson, CIWM (host) Ceris Turner-Bailes, WasteAid Lamin Sanyang, WasteAid Ndey Awa Ceesay, Dennakuwo Secretary General Alfusainey Sey, NAACO Enterprise
