The project builds on more than six years of collaboration and successive project phases on civil society–led solid waste management in Kétao to achieve lasting institutional change. The project strengthens civil society actors’ capacity to deliver efficient and financially sustainable SWM services, while using documented results and data to engage local authorities as accountable duty bearers. Through improved service delivery, digital systems, and inclusive participation, the project contributes to cleaner environments, reduced health and environmental risks, and more stable livelihoods for communities. Structured dialogue and evidence-based advocacy support authorities in assuming responsibility for regulation, financing, and oversight of SWM as a public service. By linking capacity development, strategic service delivery, and advocacy, the project contributes to sustainable, system-level improvements in governance and access to essential services beyond the project period.
