Belarus POPs Stockpile Management Projec მუშაობს ბელორუსია.
The objective of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Project for Belarus is to: (i) increase environmental benefits of integrated solid waste management in the City of Grodno through recovery and reuse of recyclable materials; and (ii) strengthen national capacity to manage hazardous wastes associated with Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). There are four components to the project. Component one: construction of a mechanical waste separation treatment facility in the City of Grodno. This component is estimated to cost US$ 37 million, financed by a World Bank loan. Funds will finance construction of a 120,000 ton/year modern mechanical separation plant to recover recyclable materials from commercial and household waste. Component two: waste separation management improvements. This component is estimated to cost US$4.0 million, financed from Government budget. The objective is to sequence improvements to separate waste at source so the mechanical solid waste separation facility receives higher-quality dry input materials to process. Component three: POPs stockpile management. This component will cost an estimated US$26.7 million: US$5.5 million financed by a global environment facility (GEF) grant; US$20.6 million financed from Government and enterprise resources; and the balance from international sources such as United Nation Development Program (UNDP), Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA), North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Component four: project management and other support activities: managing the solid waste management (SWM) components (I & II) is estimated to cost US$ 2.65 million: the World Bank will finance US$0.4 to support project staff, training, audits, and incremental office operating expenses; Government will finance staffing, monitoring and evaluation, including surveys; other official staffing support from the Ministry of Housing Utilities (MHU) and the Oblast; and office accommodation, operations, and maintenance.
