The project envisages providing the requisite technical support to assess the baseline situation of waste management in the identified study area and to engage all relevant stakeholders in a dialogue to arrive at guidelines for sustainable solid waste management in Himalayan states and mountainous regions in the country.
Expected Outputs:
• A comprehensive baseline report on the existing situation of municipal solid waste management in the identified region of the Himalayas
• Support to conduct field surveys regarding awareness towards sustainable solid waste management in mountainous regions and to provide local assistance for waste characterisation study and surveys
• A sustainable solid waste management action plan for the targeted trekking route of Himalayan region with focus on plastic waste
• Guideline for sustainable solid waste management in Himalayan states and mountainous regions in the country
