Solid Waste Management Improvement Project

closed

The project fully supports the government's priority of improving Tashkents solid waste management (SWM) system through an investment package to accelerate waste minimization and recycling initiatives, upgrade and rehabilitate the city's solid waste collection and transfer systems, and develop a new sanitary landfill (SLF) to potentially serve the city until at least the year 2060. Concurrently, it will assist government to develop a national SWM strategy and investment program in order to guide national SWM sector improvements over the medium term. The project also supports the government's recent proposals to progressively increase private sector involvement in SWM provision, reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality.
