WASTE MANAGEMENT

Qandil has been awarded UNDP funds to help local authorities to improve waste management programmes. A dialogue has been conducted with UNDP and the local authorities to review the IREP programme by focussing on the entire waste management system, from the planning stage to financing, management, human resources, equipment, alternative waste management methods, etc., and with the aim of achieving sustainability over time.

IREP in the local district of Said Sadiq and Arbat

Qandil has assisted two local authority districts in Sulemaniyah province – Arbat and Said Sadiq districts – with their waste management. Qandil’s primary responsibility has been to reinforce the local authorities with human resources so as to enable the local authority to handle the growing piles of waste in cities and rural areas. The project was financed by UNDP.

IREP in the district of Soran

Similar support has been provided to the local authority district in Soran, Erbil province. Financial resources have been provided via UNDP.
