ILO, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (2001) (24 Jan 05) In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, a gradual shift of the local administration took place by the end of the nineties. During that shift also the role of the private sector in the provision of urban services grew such as in solid waste management. Besides the large(r) firms that were interested in the commercial running of a cleansing service several other 'informal' groups took local initiatives too in e.g. road maintenance, water tap monitoring and waste collection. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) was asked by UNHabitat to develop a support programme for these groups. ILO asked WASTE to develop work plans and practical guidelines to strengthen these CBO's and MSEs in their new role. A survey was made of the major material flows in the city, actors, were mapped, interviews held and several workshops organised to create co-operation, to develop a business insight and to show the potential of the waste recycling sector. ILO built upon this initial advice a strong and growing small scale waste collecting sector. This project was succeeded by the UNIDO Recycling Centre project in October 2001.
Dar Es Salaam Integrated Solid Waste Management, Tanzania, 1998 (24 Jan 05) The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in collaboration with the UNCHS Habitat assists the Dar es Salaam City Commission in the implementation of an integrated solid waste management programme. The ILO has asked WASTE to provide assistance in the field of community-based waste management and small-scale recycling. WASTE assisted in the development of a waste collection plan for two communities and presented options for the enhancement of the waste paper, plastic and sheet metal recycling sector. CBOs were trained in running their own waste collection businesses.
UNIDO, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (2001 - 2005) (24 Jan 05) WASTE is contracted as the leading technical partner in creating a recycling processing centre for paper and plastic in Dar es Salaam. The Centre, has opened its doors in December 2003, focuses on adding value and increasing marketing options for paper and plastics collected by the informal and semi-formal MSEs and CBOs who collect waste and recyclables in Dar es Salaam neighbourhoods.
