Water and Waste Management

Our approach on waste-related work is similar to that in other infrastructure and services. It falls into four areas:

Working towards improving – service provision in slum, peri urban and low income areas. This involves making arrangements for waste collection through organising communities or influencing municipalities and private sector. We expect that the social outcome of this provision, if done at scale, is improved health and a cleaner living environment.
We encourage income and employment – creation from waste related activities and promote decent, safer work for the poor. This is also supported by introducing innovative approaches and better technologies for waste reduction, recycling and reuse.

We directly support the development of better technologies, knowledge, innovation and communication for all the actors in waste management. This can be done in a number of ways, for example by encouraging research organizations to focus on topics which benefit the poor, promoting mutual learning and enhancing abilities of self-analysis and learning. We aim to influence national and global policies in waste management in favor of poor men and women. We promote successful models and lobby for better practices globally.
