Development Objective

The development objective of the Project is to assist the Tunisian Government in strengthening the key elements of sustainability of municipal solid waste management. This objective will be achieved through the operationalization of a planning and implementation system of solid waste management at the national and local levels and through the rehabilitation of a number of environmentally harmful dumpsites. These actions will enable the Tunisian Government to enter the emerging global market of carbon credits through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) introduced under the Kyoto Protocol.
