The project has a significant impact on the sustainable development of local communities,
addressing multiple aspects of waste management and promoting responsible practices. Here are
some of the long-term benefits:
1. Strengthened infrastructure: The implementation of the eco-hub and the purchase of nets and
bins for separate waste collection have created a strong infrastructure for responsible waste
management. This infrastructure will continue to serve local communities and facilitate
selective collection and recycling.
2. Reduced environmental impact: By promoting separate waste collection and plastic recycling,
the project contributes to reducing environmental impact. Moreover, ongoing information and
education activities will reinforce sustainable behaviours, having a long-term impact on how
residents interact with the environment.
3. Environmental policies and indicators: The development of the methodology for calculating
the indicator on the separate collection rate of plastic and its promotion for the performance
evaluation in the implementation of the 2033 Environmental Strategy and other programs will
influence the adoption of more effective policies in waste management at the national level.
4. Active community involvement: The project involved the community in an active way, from
information sessions to collection campaigns and case studies on river basin waste. This
ongoing engagement will strengthen the connection between people and the environment,
promoting a long-term commitment to sustainable practices.
5. Continuing education: Training sessions and information campaigns brought together
students, young people, authorities and the population, helping to raise awareness and
understanding of the importance of responsible waste management. This continuing
education will strengthen sustainable practices in communities.
6. Inter-institutional connections: Collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment, in the
development of the methodology will strengthen the connections between government
organizations, civil society and the private sector, promoting a holistic approach to waste
management.
7. Sustainable Partnerships: Partnerships established with local LPAs, schools and other
institutions will continue to develop and create a support network for future waste
management activities.
Through these long-term benefits, the project significantly contributes to the transformation of
communities into more environmentally responsible and sustainable entities.
