Project Description:
The Tsunami Recovery Waste
Management Program builds
government capacity in waste
management, creates immediate
employment and longer-term livelihoods
in waste management and provides
benefits to the environment through
collection, recovery and recycling of
waste materials.
The project provides a coordinated response to the public health concerns and environmental impacts
of tsunami and earthquake waste, and municipal solid waste. Much of the disaster waste is recycled,
with potential for use in rehabilitation and reconstruction. The project also creates employment through
“cash for work” and sustainable livelihoods in recycling related activities. A second phase of the project
will focus on making municipal waste services sustainable by focusing on capacity building as well as
operations and maintenance activities.

Achievement to date :
Phase 1 of the project began with US $ 14.4 million marked for disaster recovery activities, including creating immediate employment, restarting essential services, clearing debris and recovering recyclable materials for use during the rehabilitation and recovery process, as well as resuming municipal waste collection across eight districts in NAD-Nias to reduce potential environmental and health-related risks. During Phase 2 (effective September 2007), the program aimed to safeguard investments by building sustainability into program interventions with an additional US $ 9.98 million grant to extend the project to the end of 2009 and expand to a total of 13 districts. Phase 3 for US $ 15 million currently extends the project to the end of 2010 and enables construction of three priority permanent landfills together with limited essential rehabilitation works elsewhere.
The program continues to be relevant, running well and delivering on its development objectives. Currently, 1,377 households are able to restart cultivation on agricultural land cleared of tsunami waste.
Ten interim landfills/dumpsites have been upgraded or rehabilitated with more than 26 hectares of waste cells constructed. To date more than 288,155 m³ of municipal waste has been collected. Approximately 30% of this has been recycled with the remainder being properly disposed.

Challenges
Ensuring the sustainability of the operation and maintenance of the solid wste collection systems remains the major challenge. This is compounded by the fact that the district-level decision makers have not adequately budgeted for the operation and management of waste management activities for 2009. |
