achevé

The program to secure the Andralanitra landfill aims to improve operating conditions at the landfill and limit disturbances to neighboring populations. This program is financed by AFD via a EUR 2m grant to the Government of Madagascar reallocated to CUA. CUA is also contributing EUR 100,000 of financing to the program. There are three objectives:Combat the pollution caused by the landfill: this involves covering the holes in order to limit leachate generation (polluted juices) and develop a drinking water network for surrounding areas,Improve the collection and exploitation of the landfill by neighboring communities,Prepare the closing down of the landfill: this component involves regulating the activity of ragpickers and implementing a reconversion plan for communities whose livelihoods depend on the exploitation of the landfill.
