 The
project aims at providing the necessary support to el Minya
Governorate to properly manage its Solid Waste. In particular the
project is addressing the institutional, information, technical and
financial needs for a sound and effective Solid Waste Management
system.
The Project will further serve as model to replicate in the
other rural governorates in Egypt. In addition, the project will
implement a pilot action in El Miniya Governorate. This pilot action
would be identified as a priority component of the system.
In
particular the project expected results could be summarized as follows :
-
A set of updated data, specific on Solid Waste Management in
El Minya Governorate.
-
An Executive, ready
- for- implementation plan for the
establishment of a comprehensive, sustainable and integrated SWM
scheme for the entire Governorate of El Minya; such a scheme will be
conceptualized and designed.
-
Solid Waste Management Unit ( SWMU) established – and
consolidated of SWM within the Governorate, as well as the provision
of technical and managerial support to the decentralized
authorities.
-
A number of planning, engineering as well as operating staff
and workers of El –Minya Governorate trained and experienced on
the job, with respect to their competence within the identified SWM
cycle ( with particular focus on SWMU
staff ).
-
A Geographical Information System (GIS ) and a database integrated in a Decision Support System ( DSS
), with the objective of advancement of planning and management of
collection disposal and treatment options for solid wastes.
-
Both the central, as well as 10 of the peripherals nodes of a
( to be established) data collected network for the feeding of DSS /
database, put in operation.
-
A comprehensive document defining clear, reliable and
applicable engineering standards for the design, implementation and
operation of adequate SWM schemes in Rural Governorates.
-
A demonstrative
Pilot Action, aimed at the validation of the
methodologies developed within the Project. Such a Pilot will be
carried out on a selected geographic and/or thematic restricted
scope, to be identified as a result
of Project Task I activities. The definite identification
(construction of landfill, rehabilitation of composting
plant, improvement of the efficiency of waste collection
within a cluster area…) of such a Pilot Action will be
adjusted also to the amount of funds available ( to be
secured from a new project budget through
Debt-for-Development
Swap
operations, Governorate fund,
etc…).
-
A set of detailed reports, defining ways and methods to
enhance sustainability and effectiveness of Project outputs, as well
as their updating. Such reports, to be formulated and issued
periodically, will build upon the experiences gained and lesson
learned during Project implementation.
-
New, and/or enhancement of ongoing, physical infrastructure
development project to be established within the SWM reference
framework.
The
Project is managed and implemented with the full participation
of the Governorate and will link with privatization efforts of the
Governorate and will follow the national Solid Waste Management
Program directives.
