The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is seeking proposals for a Training Programme to Implement Decrees aimed at Reducing Open Waste Burning and Air Pollution in Cambodia.
This project responds to the request by the Ministry of Environment to train officers from the federal, provincial, district, communal and village level authorities to enforce the implementation of the sub-decree 42 on air pollution and circular 1 on banning open burning of waste.
In its Clean Air Plan the government sets a goal to reduce open waste burning across the country by 50% by 2030.
Aims
- The proposed training programme aims to:
- Enhance government official’s understanding of the decree on air pollution and ban on open waste burning.
- Strengthen the enforcement capabilities of federal, provincial, district, communal and village level authorities by providing knowledge on the impacts of air pollution/waste burning to human health, climate change, and agricultural products.
- Promote collaboration and coordination between government officers, including the Ministry of Environment, to facilitate effective implementation and enforcement of the decree on air pollution and ban on open waste burning (Decree 42; circular 1).
- This project will support the implementation of Cambodia’s Clean Air Plan with targeted activities in the waste sector, building on the on-going CCAC funded project.
Funding Information
- Estimated project cost: $200,000
