The proposed project will support the provincial governments of Mongolia in their efforts to improve solid waste management practices, reduce environmental pollution, and enhance community awareness and employment generation opportunities in the waste management sector. The project will promote effective and innovative municipal solid waste management in secondary cities in Mongolia. The project will preserve the ecological balance in areas around the selected secondary cities; improve public health by reducing the burden of care (especially on women) because of ill health due to contamination from solid waste; and generate employment opportunities and improved livelihoods for the urban poor. The project outcome will be effective municipal solid waste management and recycling in secondary cities adopted. The impact will be safer and better environmental conditions for residents living in secondary cities achieved.
