Description
Description | The Lao PDR Pollution and Waste Management Project (PWMP) is an Investment Project Financing operation that aims to enhance the country's capacity to manage waste, plastics, and pollution and improve municipal solid waste (MSW) services in Vientiane Capital (VC). The six-year project also looks to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and generate jobs for vulnerable communities as a result of these interventions. The project supports the Government of Lao PDR’s (GoL) commitment to a low-carbon, resilient, and cleaner development pathway, the country’s medium-term Green Growth Strategy to 2030, the 9th National Socioeconomic Development Plan 2021-2025, and its Nationally Determined Contributions (2021), which include a commitment to reduce GHG emissions and enhance climate resilience. The focus on VC, the country’s capital and largest waste generator, ensures that the project's outcomes serve as a model for other cities, thereby amplifying its impact across the country. |
