Members of organizations identified organizational priorities and the most urgent problems of community sustainable development. The project application was developed by community members together with the MSU based on community priorities. In addition to the quality of project application, the eligibility criteria for selecting the project included the institutional capacity of community-based organization (proper registration, regularity of meetings and financial capacity).
In April 2012 a report on the development of alternative integrated MSW treatment in Tulchyn target region was considered. After a lengthy discussion the Managing Committee approved one of the three suggested options of MSW treatment in the district, which will form the basis for regional Strategy of waste treatment and for the action plan of its implementation. According to the approved option the 4-containers technological scheme of separate waste collection would be introduced in multi-stored houses, which involves the use of separate containers for separate storage of paper and cardboard, plastic, metal, glass and mixed waste. UNDP/MGSDP supported pilot initiative to test the system of solid waste separate collection in five multi-apartment houses in Tulchyn where ACMH were organised.equipment and storage containers procured and installedgrounds for the MSW collection near the “pilot” houses constructed and equippedtrainings for condominium Board members and activists heldawareness campaign in Tulchyn and the neighboring villages conducted
