INTRODUCTION    

 Municipal   solid   waste   management   is   an   important   part   of   the   urban  infrastructure   that   ensures   the   protection   of   environment   and   human  health.   The   accelerated   growth   of   urban   population   with   unplanned  urbanization,   increasing   economic   activities   and   lack   of   training   in  modern   solid   waste   management   practices   in   the   developing   countries  complicates   the   efforts   to   improve   solid  waste   services.   The   changes   in  consumption   patterns  with   alterations   in   the  waste   characteristics   have  resulted  in  a  quantum  jump  in  solid  waste  generation.  Although  the  urban  residents  of  the  developing  countries  produce  less  solid  waste  per  capita  than   the   high-­‐income   countries,   the   capacity   of   the   cities   to   collect,  process  or  reuse  and  dispose  solid  waste  cost-­‐effectively  is  limited.

TRAINING  METHODOLOGY  

This   training   program   is   lecture-­‐based   and   customized   to   the   needs   of  the   audience,   providing   meaningful   experience.   Daily   sessions   include  formal   presentation,   prepared   in   the   Power   Point,   interspersed   with  directed   discussion   and   case   study.   In   addition   to   formal   lectures   and  discussions,   the  delegates  will   learn  by  active  participation   through   the  use   of   self-­‐assessment,   group   discussions,   analysis   of   real-­‐life   case  studies.  

   

 CERTIFICATES
