The USAID/Lebanon Diverting Waste by Encouraging Reuse and Recycling (DAWERR) Activity is working to establish sustainable and replicable integrated solid waste diversion and valorization solutions in rural areas of Lebanon. ECODIT and its partners are supporting USAID/Lebanon to introduce financially sustainable solutions that increase the reuse, recycling and monetization of solid waste and reduce the amount of “residual” solid waste that goes into landfills. Working concomitantly with municipalities, local communities, and the private sector, the Activity is: (1) Developing sustainable composting value chains for organic waste, and strengthen existing recycling value chains for inert recyclable materials in select municipalities serving as pilots initially, and then support replication by other municipalities across Lebanon building on lessons learned from the pilots; and (2) implementing integrated solid waste management solutions for unions or clusters of municipalities. The results will be improved health and social welfare and expanded economic horizons for the people of Lebanon.
