The clean-up campaigns are part of locally driven initiatives aimed at capacitating residents to respond to local challenges, said a spokesperson for CHRA.
Residents have also been receiving training from the Association to help them discuss the challenge of local governance challenges and map strategies to respond to the problems.
CHRA has produced a DVD on the Mbare clean-up campaign.
