Home > Programme> Solid waste management > Top HighlightsTwo Proposals endorsed at the 14th SPREP MeetingThe following two important programmes on waste management were endorsed at the 14th SPREP meeting in September 2003: Formulation of Regional Waste Management StrategyThis programme follows the endorsement, at the Japan/Pacific
Islands Forum Leaders Meeting (PALM 2003), of the need for developing
a
Pacific Regional Waste Management Strategy building on the draft
Master Plan
prepared by the Japanese Government. Year of Waste and Regional Waste Clean-up (2005) This programme will be one of the components of the long term strategy to be developed as above and aims to identify, demonstrate and then set in place realistic and effective solutions to many key issues on solid waste in the Pacific island countries. It will do so through a regional waste awareness campaign (Year of Waste) coupled with a regional clean-up campaign which would be directed at difficult waste. Both of these campaigns will be used to assess the financial, technical, legal, institutional and social barriers to effective waste management and to identify ways in which these can be overcome.
