Description
The overall goal of the National Solid Waste Management Programme (NSWMP) is that the national olid waste management system contributes significantly to the sustainable protection of the environment and climate, the conservation of resources and the reduction of healt-realted hazards for the population in Egypt. The NSWMP includes work at the national, regional and local levels, including financial and technical cooperaiton support to initially four Egyptian Governorates: Qena and Assiut in Upper Egypt, Kafr El Sheikh and Gharbia in the Delta. Through developing a new national SWM policy & legal framework, dedicated institutions and enhanced professional capacity, and new investments in infrastructure and services, the NSWMP will also set SWM as a key entry point for economic development, employment, integration of the informal sector and social participation in the process of planning and implementing public infrastructure and services. One of these is the opportunigy to create business and employment opportunities through ISWM, ie high resource efficient / high employment generating integrated SWM systems.
