Municipal Solid Waste Knowledge Platform

The International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) is a key partner in the Municipal Solid Waste Initiative of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and has been involved in improving the solid waste management system in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. One of the main actions focussed on organic waste management and short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) mitigation through the diversion of organic waste from the landfill. In this framework, ISWA contracted WASTE to propose a strategy on organic waste management in Dar es Salaam.

This document “A green city is our home! - Strategy on Organic Waste Management in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania” has been prepared by Michele Giavini and Sophie van den Berg (WASTE). Many thanks go to Alexander Fecher (Dar es Salaam City Council/CIM), Kata Tisza (ISWA) and Paul Stegmann (ISWA) for their important contributions to this report.
