Introduction

Conduct Feasibility Study for Integrated Waste Management for Gampola Urban Council in Sri Lanka  


Sri Lanka faces growing challenges in municipal solid waste management (MSWM), particularly in urban and semi-urban areas. Inefficient waste collection systems, limited infrastructure for segregation and recycling, and unsustainable disposal practices contribute to environmental pollution, public health risks, and significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Rapid urbanization, population growth, and changing consumption patterns have further strained existing municipal waste management systems, making it increasingly difficult to manage waste in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner. Improving MSWM is critical not only for local environmental quality and public health but also for achieving Sri Lanka’s broader climate and sustainable development goals. The country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) include specific targets for reducing GHG emissions from the waste sector, emphasizing the need for integrated, low-carbon, and sustainable solutions. Strengthening local authorities’ capacity to manage municipal solid waste efficiently and sustainably is therefore a national priority.

To address these challenges, UNDP Sri Lanka is implementing the project ‘Scale-up and Sustain the Low-Carbon Municipal Solid Waste Management and Resource Recovery in Sri Lanka,’ in partnership with the Ministry of Public Administration, Provincial Councils and Local Government (MoPAPCLG). The project aims to promote sustainable, low-carbon, and locally appropriate MSWM solutions in selected Local Authorities (LAs) in the Central and Sabaragamuwa Provinces including two pilot projects.
The Gampola Urban Council has been selected as one of the pilot locations, with an estimated 10 tons/day of daily waste collection and an estimated 20 tons/day total waste generation within urban and peri-urban areas.

  Objective;

The objective of this assignment is to conduct the feasibility and other supporting analyses, in close collaboration with national and sub-national government entities and private sector stakeholders. The engagement process will ensure alignment with national policies, regulatory requirements, and international best practices. 

 Please refer to the TOR for details.
