The Overall Objective of this project was (1) to improve sanitary living conditions in the urban areas of the two districts and (2) to contribute to poverty alleviation by providing services to the poorest population and creating job opportunities in the waste and recycling activities.

The Project Purpose was to establish a sustainable, regional municipal waste management system in the project area. This is achieved through an institutionalized cooperation between the municipalities in the two districts, providing services also to the surrounding semi-urban VDCs and to private and institutional waste producers.

The three project components were: 1) Regional SWM infrastructure development (including the construction of the landfill); 2) Waste Management operation and financial system; and 3) Environmental Sustainability and public participation.
