A TURKISH agency is to undertake a waste management needs assessment exercise for Zambia to determine measures to equip Zambia with technical and effective waste management, says Charge‘d’ Affaires of Zambia in Turkey, Bwalya Nondo.

Mr Nondo said the Turkish Co-operation and Co-ordination Agency (TIKA) would carry out the exercise aimed at determining and tailor-making intervention measures to equip Zambia with technical know-how for effective waste management.

He said the decision was reached following a meeting between TIKA Vice President Ali Maskan and Charge’ d’ Affaires of Zambia in Turkey, Bwalya Nondo.

“The scope of the exercise will cover waste management administration, waste management policies, creation of waste management synergies with municipalities and waste recycling and entrepreneurship,” he said.

Mr Nondo disclosed that the team would be in the country from January, 20 to 27  2018, adding they would also conduct a short training of trainers workshop for the Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) and other stakeholders in waste management.
