Capacity Building Workshop on Climate Finance and Strategy on How to Seek Funding and Attract Further Carbon Offsetting Projects.
On Tuesday, April 25th, 2017, the International Solid Waste Association, on behalf of the CCAC Waste Initiative, organized a training on financing solid waste management. The training took place at the facilities of BORDA, the Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association, in Mikocheni, Dar es Salaam.
The training was organized by Kata Tisza and Paul Stegmann from ISWA in cooperation with BORDA staff. The ISWA expert conducting the training was Ms. Reka Soos, from the Resources & Waste Advisory Group (RWA). The training was attended by 19 participants, among them representatives from four municipalities.
During the training, the DLAs received assistance to understand the importance and tools for proving credibility in order to attract new external investments (such as the carbon offsetting project of Hamburg in Kinondoni). Also, investigate options for obtaining potential revenues that may come from improving waste management practices and the sale of the eventually generated climate credits on international markets. A strategy on how to seek funding for policymakers was developed.
