The document summarizes the "Waste Governance - ENPI East" project, which aims to improve waste management in countries bordering the EU through cooperation and capacity building. It is a 5.8 million euro project implemented by several organizations and financed by the EU. The project seeks to address pollution from improper waste disposal by improving waste data collection, strategic planning, and coordination of resources. It promotes principles of good governance like openness, participation, accountability, and effectiveness. The project also develops pilot regional waste management strategies and conducts public awareness activities to improve waste governance practices in the participating countries.

• The EC’s Assistance Framework
- European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and the Four
Common Spaces with Russia provides the framework
for closer relations between EU and the countries in
its neighbourhood to the east
- For 2007-2013, approximately €12 billion in EC
funding is available to support all sorts of reforms in
these Partner Countries
- Sustainable development and sound environment are
key issues within ENP
- EC’s Regional Strategy Paper 2007-2013 places the
environment as one of the EC’s key support areas for
the region

• Waste Governance – ENPI East
– Important part of the EC’s 2008 Regional Action
Programme
– Developed after extensive consultation with the
Partner Countries
– Seeks to address the resulting pollution from
improperly managed wastes by:-
• Improving data on the types and quantities of waste disposed
of to the environment
• Improving strategic planning for addressing waste
management problems
• Improving the coordination of national and international
resources to more effectively address waste management
problems

• What is Waste Governance (3)
– Openness
• Development, implementation, and reporting of waste
management initiatives is communicated to all stakeholders
– Participation
• Waste management planning is undertaken with the inclusive
participation of stakeholders
– Accountability
• Clear roles and responsibilities between the various

• What is Waste Governance (4)
– Effectiveness
• Waste management planning is developed and
implemented at the appropriate institutional levels
to address local priorities on the basis of clear
objectives and evaluation of future impacts.
– Coherence
• Strengthening waste management frameworks
must be integrated into the wider policy framework
of each country.

• Implications for Project Implementation (1)
– Implementation must be “process” driven if
impact/sustainability is to be maximised
– Project coordinators in place and empowered
to make decisions locally
– Project Partners and key stakeholders must
be fully engaged into project implementation
both nationally and regionally in order to
maximise ownership

• Implications for Project Implementation (2)
– Use the concept of integrated Solid Waste
Management (ISWM) because it tests the full
range of governance skills, e.g. priority
setting, strategic planning, consultation,
decision making etc
– Involve NGOs into the implementation
process
– Strong public awareness raising component &
communication strategy essential

community and to natural resources through co-
operation with, and among, partner states in the
region”
• Specific Objective
– “To improve the management of waste by promoting
higher standards at waste facilities, more effective
waste prevention initiatives, increased capacities for
waste collection and sorting, as well as increasing
reuse, recovery, and safe disposal of waste”

Domestic Waste Management Strategy for
Zakarpatska oblast 2012-2026
The strategy proposes that the 13 rayons in the Oblast are
divided into 4 distinct sub-regions (Uzhgorod, Mukachevo,
Vinogradiv, and Tiachiv) because the sharing of waste
management facilities is the most efficient approach.

• What is the DABLAS Platform (3)
– Benefits donors and beneficiaries by:-
• Providing access to priority investment projects to ensure
that project sponsors, donors, and IFIs are better informed
about the viability of projects and will have a clearer idea of
next steps for project development
• Facilitating opportunities for donors and IFIs to establish co-
operation to take projects forward through Task Force
activities (such as meetings and workshops)
• Ensuring information on progress on national funding
decisions from the DABLAS feedback process is widely
available to aid in the decision-making process
• Developing a tangible strategic framework for donors to use
when actually making financing decisions
