Catalog of technical options for solid waste management in Bangladesh

The catalog of technical options for managing Municipal Solid Waste has been produced by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) for the Technical Assistance Hub for South Asia (TA-Hub SA) located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. TA-Hub SA is managed by Development Consultants (DevCon) and supported through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. One of the tasks of TA-Hub SA is to support the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) on behalf of the Government of Bangladesh in activities related to the planning and implementation of Solid Waste Management (SWM) projects in over 60 cities of the country. In order to support informed decision-making among related public stakeholders, TA-Hub SA requested the production of two catalogs of selected technical options for solid waste management (SWM) and fecal sludge management (FSM) value chains currently implemented mainly in South and Southeast Asia region.
