In this work, ETHAIA supported the Municipal Council of the City of Pemba, within the scope of the “MAISPEMBA” project, run by E35 Foundation and co-financed by the European Commission, in defining an integrated waste strategy for the capital city of Cabo Delgado in Mozambique. The approach focused on the participatory definition of the action plan for sustainable waste management in the city, taking into account its various challenges (and opportunities). In this context, different consultation and training actions were carried out for the different local actors.
