Project Sponsor(s) Ministry of Local Government & Rural Development (MLGRD)
National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA)
Description and location

TA combination of two Concession Agreements on a design, build, finance, operate and maintain transfer basis to provide island-wide waste collection services and waste treatment and recycling capacity through waste-to-energy technology, and a sanitary landfill.

Objectives

  • Increasing MSW collection rate from < 60 to over 90%
  • Reducing GhG and CO2 emissions from the solid waste sector by 70%
  • Establishing a sustainable waste minimization scheme through large-scale recycling and energy recovery.
  • Procuring Private capital investment and innovation in municipal solid waste management.
  • Facilitating training and employment opportunities for existing sanitation workers and informal recyclers.
  • Maintaining adequate levels of public investment in municipal waste management through long-term PPP contracts that have predictable cashflows.
