Background The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Uganda, in strategic partnership with the Ministry of Water and Environment (WE), Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Local Government (Mold), National Environment Management Authority (FEMA), and Masada City Council (MCC), is executing the Improved Integrated Waste Management Project (LIMP). Sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MADE), the initiative directly addresses Uganda’s critical waste management issues—marked by inadequate collection rates, prevalent open dumping and burning, and unsafe handling of Health Care Waste (HCW). These unsustainable practices intensify greenhouse gas emissions, degrade environmental quality, and pose severe public health threats, further compounded by accelerated urbanization and heightened climate vulnerability. The project’s overarching objective is to support Uganda in developing a sustainable Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and HCW management framework that curtails greenhouse gas emissions while optimizing resource recovery through waste reduction, enhanced recycling and recovery initiatives, and the adoption of landfill alternatives to enhance urban livability. The initiative is grounded in Uganda’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, the Green Growth Development Strategy (2017/18–2030/31), and the draft National Waste Management Policy. It further resonates with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing SDG 3 (health), SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 11 (sustainable cities), SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production), and SDG 13 (climate action). Through the enhancement of regulatory frameworks, the implementation of a pilot integrated waste management system in Masada City, and the development of a scalable national model, the project seeks to convert waste from a burden into a valuable asset. The initiative comprises three core components, designated as Outputs/Work Packages (WP): Supporting the approval, dissemination, and implementation of waste management policies in Uganda, this role focuses on enhancing the regulatory and institutional framework by developing, validating, and operationalizing essential policy instruments. Key responsibilities include creating national and local strategies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), guidelines, and bye laws, alongside delivering targeted capacity-building initiatives to ensure their successful execution. Design, construction, and operationalization of integrated waste management systems in Masada City—encompassing both solid and healthcare waste streams—is the focus of Work Package 2. The initiative aims to establish a functional and scalable circular economy model through feasibility studies, infrastructure development, capacity building, and strategic engagement with the private sector.
