USAID CCBO: Building Local Government Capacity for Improved Solid Waste Management Systems (Fact Sheet)

It discusses the challenges faced by local governments in managing solid waste and preventing plastic waste from entering the ocean. The program aims to support local governments in developing effective waste management systems through the use of the Solid Waste Capacity Index for Local Governments (SCIL) assessment tool. The SCIL tool helps local governments assess their strengths and weaknesses in six key areas, including planning, policy and legal framework, financial management, service delivery, human resources, and community engagement. The document provides an overview of the SCIL tool, its benefits, and how it can be used to build capacity and improve waste management planning.
