The Waste Management Technologies in Regions activity will improve policy formulation and strategic planning related to waste management at national and local levels in Georgia; enhance the capacity of targeted municipalities to establish and maintain sustainable waste management facilities and services; and support the development of Georgia’s recycling sector.  The program will develop remediation plans for old and illegal landfills, which will improve management of thousands of hectares of biologically rich areas.  The activity will help reduce environmental pollution, improve sanitation and human health, and increase the quality and quantity of recycled products.
