| Duration |
March 06 – March 08 |
| Location |
Azerbaijan |
| Purpose |
The project will establish a sustainable pilot
waste management scheme (collection, transport and disposal)
in at least one Azeri community along the BTC pipeline. The
provision of such an infrastructure will help tackle environmental
and health and safety problems in both the short and long-term.
Initially the project will focus on working with the communities
to raise awareness and change perception of waste management. |
| Themes |
The main priority themes the project will address
are education for sustainable development, public participation
and community capacity building. However, there will also be
an overlap with other themes, as an improved waste management
scheme will help tackle issues (e.g. degradation of land and
watercourses, damage to wildlife and domestic animals). |
