Solid waste management (SWM) is an ongoing problem worldwide. As part of the GREEN Project, funded by the European Union, the research team has focused on SWM solutions for areas bordering the East Tonle Sap Lake (ETSL) in three provinces in Cambodia: Pursat, Kampong Chhnang, and Kampong Thom. This research is a foundational step in developing relevant SWM solutions for these communities and focuses on understanding the current solid waste landscape in the ETSL area, identifying relevant stakeholders and actors, and identifying areas of opportunity for SWM solutions.
The kNOwWaste Knowledge Platform was developed through a Project Cooperation Agreement funding by UNEP on 2016. The platform provides data and information on holistic waste management to stakeholders in Asia and the Pacific region. The platform was developed with the following aims: generate and consolidate data or information on holistic waste management, transform data into easily comprehensible outputs for use by key stakeholders, map out and disseminate information on international waste management projects under the GPWM and UNEP projects as well as other international partners, and provide capacity building support through dissemination of data or information support for relevant stakeholders on holistic waste and waste management system.
