CCBO Initial Solid Waste Management Assessment Philippines

The following report presents CCBO’s Initial Solid Waste Management Assessment (ISWMA), covering the program’s four “engagement sites” in the Republic of the Philippines: Batangas City, Iloilo City, Las Piñas, and Pasig. The ISWMA is one of CCBO’s first steps in its launch of in-field implementation and will support its engagement sites to create improvements that will lead to sustainable, integrated waste management systems that will help restore the region’s natural environment, advance urban planning and management, and improve public health. The ISWMA’s main objectives are to:

• Identify the existing components of the solid waste management (SWM) systems in each of the engagement sites;
• Assess and determine those areas that are expected to need improvements;
• Identify additional information that is needed to support implementation for improved systems; and
• Provide recommendations which will ultimately inform the program’s Year One and subsequent Works Plans.
