Support for the implementation of the waste management strategy in Greater Antananarivo
Waste management in the Antananarivo agglomeration, with its 39 municipalities and 2.5 million inhabitants, faces major technical, regulatory, institutional and financial challenges, worsen by rapid urbanisation. Poor waste management is leading to a proliferation of illegal dumps, affecting drainage infrastructure and exacerbating health and flooding risks. The lack of funding is an obstacle to the sustainability of the entire sector. There is no structured waste sorting and recycling system in place.
Artelia, with the support of Phoenix, is carrying out a capitalisation and support study for the implementation of a solid waste management strategy in the Antananarivo conurbation. This study, supported by the World Bank, is being led by the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the Ministry of Land Management and Land Services (MATSF). Its aim is to define a sustainable waste management strategy in consultation with all stakeholders, in particular the municipalities, to identify the technical resources, regulatory and institutional organisation and capacity-building measures required, to study the feasibility of creating sorting and transfer centers and a new landfill site and, finally, to support the authorities in implementing the strategy.
Phoenix is responsible for:
- carrying out a survey of 1,000 households to understand their current waste management practices, their expectations in terms of improving the service and their ability and willingness to contribute to its funding;
- drawing up a sustainable financing strategy for the sector and the development of a equilibrium financial model.
