Solid Waste Management Project

closed

The main objectives of the Solid Waste Management Project are to: 2) cost effectively improve solid waste services in participating priority areas; b) increase administrative and technical capacity for solid waste management at the local and Entity level; c) improve cost recovery in the sector and encourage private sector involvement; and d) correct environmental problems and reduce health hazards caused by inadequate waste collection and disposal systems. There are three project components beside the project management component. The Waste Management component rehabilitates landfill sites by closing wild dumps, building collection infrastructure and support equipment, and establishingn transfer stations. The Institutional Strengthening component supports a public communication program, environmental monitoring, and the formation of a medium-term business plan. The Engineering Services/Technical Assistance component provides engineering services for design and construction supervision, and technical assistance for waste management and landfill operations.
