Overview

activity

Responding to the request of Government of Nepal, the Bank and GPOBA support the Government in preparing a municipal Solid Waste Management (SWM) OBA program within a broader SWM sector support.

The deliverables have been prepared as planned. This TA activity developed standard contractual arrangements for private SWM operators to participate in the 2nd batch of municipalities, whereas in the 1st  batch of municipalities, SWM operators were public. During the upcoming World Bank / GPOBA Midterm Review mission for the W3 SWM OBA Program planned for March 2016, the 2nd batch municipalities and private / NGOs operators from the SWM sector will discuss the implementation of these contractual arrangements.
