Sousse deploys smart software for better city cleanliness management

Sousse, Tunisia, is deploying an innovative digital tool to tackle urban cleanliness and environmental challenges. The governorate has introduced intelligent software designed to streamline the management of the city's sanitation services and address persistent "black spots" that mar the urban landscape.

The new software empowers the general secretaries of the governorate's municipalities. They can now submit daily reports documenting their cleaning interventions, compile daily and monthly assessments, and generate crucial statistical indicators. This data-driven approach aims to inform and adjust action programs, ensuring more effective resource allocation and targeted interventions.

Governor Sofiène Tanfouri emphasized that technology is only one part of the solution. He advocates for a comprehensive and inclusive strategy, recognizing the vital role of citizen engagement. Tanfouri praised residents who spontaneously organize to maintain their neighborhoods and urged elected councils, civil society organizations, and local media to amplify these efforts.

The governor stressed the need for integrated urban intervention programs tailored to the specific needs of each area. By prioritizing real needs and fostering collaboration, Sousse aims to cultivate better environmental habits and leverage social media for the benefit of the urban environment, creating a cleaner and more livable city for all.
