Overview

activity

The study objectives were to prepare:
  a rapid assessment (baseline analysis) of the Moroni Municipal Solid  Wastes value chain (collection, transport, disposal etc.) with preliminary ideas of OBA/RBF,
  a feasibility study for the waste collection and management and a landfill,
  documentation for selecting an operator for waste collection and for the landfill;
  recommendations  on  OBA  and  RBF  design, taking  into account specifics of slums, environmental,  health  and social considerations, GHG emissions, and issues with Moroni city governance.

Status

Closed. The  report  was finalized  and  accepted by  the World Bank's Comoros country director as a basis for the dialogue with the Government   of Comoros and the Moroni authorities on  potential RBF/OBA   approaches to municipal solid waste management. The activity was extended  from August to October 2014 to finalize the deliverables.
