Wase MapBook For Bardibas Metropolitan City

This map book has been created by Youth Innovation Lab as part of the deliverables for the Waste Smart Fellowship component of the “GreenShift Nepal: Circularity of Plastic Waste for Net-Zero Carbon Nepal”. The project received the financial support from the European Union and is implemented by a consortium lead CREASION and partners, including Youth Innovation Lab, Restless Development Nepal. As part of the Waste Smart Fellowship initiative, we deployed three dedicated Waste Smart Fellows to work in three project municipalities for a period of seven months from February to September 2024. The government of Nepal has made Solid Waste Management Act to improve the waste management at the local level. However, out of 753 local bodies, 217 do not have specific policies for plastic waste management and only 103 have designated solid waste management units. These Waste Smart Fellows were stationed in these areas with primary aim of coordinating with the local government for waste management and help to strengthen the planning and policy making of “Waste Management” in the municipality. In addition, these youths have also helped in proper planning by collecting and disseminating data for waste management of the municipality through TagMe app usage.
