The community’s objectives are: share experiences and resources to learn from solid waste management projects across the World Bank Group; further technical knowledge; strengthen projects by including environmental, social, urban, gender, sustainable financing, and climate perspectives and expertise when relevant; and learn about the latest innovations globally.

    • Health Care Waste Management

    Health care waste management (HCWM) is a process to help ensure proper hospital hygiene and safety of health care workers and communities. It includes planning and procurement, construction, staff training and behavior, proper use of tools, machines and pharmaceuticals, proper disposal methods inside and outside the hospital, and evaluation. Its many dimensions require a broader focus than the traditional health specialist or engineering point of view. The need for proper HCWM has been gaining recognition slowly.

  • Abstract

    • The Influence of Social Analysis on a Solid Waste Management Project: West Bank and Gaza

    The West Bank and Gaza suffer from severe environmental degradation, including deterioration of groundwater and uncontrolled dumping of solid waste. These problems have been addressed in Gaza with the assistance of bilateral donors, but until the design of the Solid Waste and Environment Management Project (SWEMP) in 2000, they were largely neglected in the West Bank. Solid waste management practices in the West Bank are characterized by infrequent and inadequate waste collection services, improper disposal at open dump sites, and open air burning.

Guidance Pack: Private Sector Participation in Municipal Solid Waste Management

  • Abstract

    • Guidance Pack: Private Sector Participation in Municipal Solid Waste Management

    The provision of municipal solid waste services is a costly and vexing problem for local authorities everywhere. In developing country cities, service coverage is low, resources are insufficient, and uncontrolled dumping is widespread, with resulting environmental problems. Moreover, substantial inefficiencies are typically observed. One solution commonly proposed is to contract service provision with the private sector in the belief that service efficiency and coverage can be improved, and environmental protection enhanced.
