ToT for JICA expert Team on “Solid Waste Management”

Period: September 2010 - December 2010

Client(s): JICA

The objective of the project on “strengthening of Solid Waste Management” was to improve the solid waste management services of Dhaka City Corporation. In order to achieve the objective, one of the strategies was to promote participatory solid waste management programs. To make this strategy successful DCC-JICA Expert Team implemented Community Based Solid Waste Management to facilitate participation of community people in solid waste management (SWM). The Project Team conducted a series of training which provided necessary skills and knowledge for improvement of SWM. The trainings were conducted targeting community people, primary collection service providers and local organizations aiming to improve community level solid waste management. For improving Ward-Based SWM, it was necessary for DCC staff to obtain the knowledge and skills on how to arrange training in fruitful ways. To conduct the above tasks, training was necessary for the counterparts of the project. After evaluation of the overall situation, the project team (JICA and ITN-BUET) decided to arrange a 5 days TOT training so that DCC staff can implement the above tasks smoothly.
