Program to Recover Locations Degraded by Solid Waste in Priority Areas

implementation

The general objective of the program is to improve environmental conditions in areas degraded by solid waste in 12 priority municipios in Peru. The specific objectives are to: (i) recover degraded areas; (ii) strengthen municipal management in the final disposal of municipal solid waste; and (iii) improve conditions and expand job opportunities for informal recyclers. This project is part of a broader program promoted by the Peruvian government, which aims to cover a total of 30 cities. IDB financing will cover 12 cities (Bagua, Huacho, Oxapampa, Abancay, Tarma, Pozuzo, Chancay, and Yauyos, and the viability of Huamanga, Andahuaylas, Aymaraes, and Chincha is pending confirmation), while resources from the Japan International Cooperation Agency will cover 18 cities.
