This budget support action is composed of: (a) the budget support component with a maximum EU contribution of EUR 40,000,000, which aims at sector reforms to strengthen the Solid Waste Management (SWM) sector, and (b) the complementary support component with a maximum EU contribution of EUR 60,000,000, which aims at incrementally improving solid waste facilities and implementing of priority investments in the SWM sector (new sanitary landfills, landfill upgrades, and extensions, new transfer stations, improvement of old transfers stations; and the closure of the existing dumpsites). The purpose of the strategy is to ensure in the coming five to seven years, the safe and sanitary disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).

The budget support component in the EU grant agreement with GoJ for a total amount of EUR 40 million is proposed for achieving the first specific objective and part of the second specific objective. The general condition for disbursement of all tranches of the budget support is the satisfactory progress in implementation of the NMSWMS and continued creditability. The progress in the strategy implementation is measured by seven (7) performance-based indicators: (1) Objectives and principles of the SWM national strategy are incorporated in new and revised regulations and instructions; (2) Increased capacities for safe and sanitary disposal is improved; (3) Improved availability & quality of SWM data for monitoring & verification of environmental standards (SO2); (4) Institutional set-up of local, regional and national levels is improved; (5) Improvement cost recovery for solid waste disposal ; (6) Ensuring in the coming five to seven years, the efficient, safe and sanitary disposal of municipal solid waste in the country; (7) Improvement of overall environmental conditions, and quality of life of population by developing environmental and financial sustainable systems for SWM. Furthermore, the EU decided that part of the complementary support component will be implemented through the Solid Waste Project amounting to around EUR 55.3 Million, and its management to be delegated to an external implementing agency.
