Improved economic livelihood through strengthening of waste management practice at Lobamba (Buka and Khula)

June 2021 – Ongoing

The aim of the project was to improve waste management practices in the Lobamba area (Khula). The project was funded by UNDP. The lead implementing organization was Green Living Movement. The project’s target population was the Lobamba constituency, community of Khula including all groups (women, men, youth and people with disabilities), which were to be capacitated on skills and knowledge on waste management (3Rs practices) and backyard gardening. GLM with the support of UNDP launched a project on waste management at Khula and Buka community in the Lobamba constituency, aimed to minimize waste, empower the beneficiaries with knowledge and relevant skills, increase food security through recycling, composting and backyard garden and to strengthen waste management in the community through the 3Rs practices (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), ultimately  working towards achieving SDG 12 “ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns” and SDG 1 “eradicating poverty”.
