Description of the Assignment:  

The CEF project aims to develop and implement a “portfolio approach” for local authorities to identify their needs and address complex challenges within the framework of the Twin Transition. This is achieved through collaboration with diverse stakeholders, as well as experimentation and testing of various solutions. Under this project, the Stepanavan and Tashir communities have developed a “Circular Economy” portfolio and, among other initiatives, seek to improve waste management by adopting sustainable and circular practices.

The goal of this assignment is to support and guide the Stepanavan and Tashir communities in initiating waste source separation and piloting composting initiatives.
