From the result of the training, the participants agreed to establish the Community Care for the Environment Forum that will conduct various activities aimed to establish a Clean and Beautiful Sengata. KPC also worked together with the Pusdakota and the Environment Department and conducted the social analysis related to the GERAK BERSEMI (Clean, Healthy and Independent Community Movement) program. Three locations were established as demo plots for community-based garbage management.
