1. Background

“Sustainable production of commercially viable products from municipal wastes through public-private partnerships in Green SMEs, Green City, Green Agro Products, and Green Employment Generation (PPP for 4Gs)”   project will pioneer an innovative public-private partnership (PPP) between Ilam Municipality and the private sector that fuels a commercially-driven cycle of solid waste management. The PPP for 4Gs model integrates four dimensions of sustainable solid waste management: green SMEs, green city, green agricultural products and green employment generation. SMEs will create a streamlined waste management system for degradable and non-degradable waste that incorporates collection, recycling, and the management of a new plant that generates compost for tea and vegetable cultivation. PPP for 4Gs supports Ilam Municipality's visionary "Green City" initiative while creating new green jobs and setting a benchmark for replication in Nepal's remaining 58 municipalities. 

Our integrated project is grounded in participatory, socially inclusive, and gender-balanced design, and will be carried out by Winrock International in partnership with PlaNet Finance, and local partner Namsaling Community Development Center (NCDC).
