2-Project Design

Improving Urban Environment:

Waste Management.

The project started with an assessment conducted by DELGOSEA and NLC/S in July-August 2010 to learn about the city’s priorities and the city’s management commitment.

An MOU between the City and NLC/S was then signed to start the collaboration.

2-1. Project Design

A 2-day workshop to formulate a best practice transfer concept paper/urban project proposal was conducted. Participants were given opportunity to review their core environmental problems and identify root causes and impacts of those problems on their livelihoods. The second part of the workshop was devoted to formulate an action plan matrix in logical order.

2-2. Project Design

The action plan matrix was later on developed into a logical framework for the BP transfer concept paper/urban environment project. The Matrix has also been modified to become a useful implementation guide and M&E tools for both, the city and all concerned stakeholders and DELGOSEA coaches.
