The project intends to: build the capacity of waste enterprises to improve their plastic waste collection efficiency; support SMEs for the promotion of plastic alternative products and packaging; work with school children in generating knowledge and awareness; engage youths in leading advocacy and awareness campaigns; and enhance the capacity of three tiers of government for inclusive and evidence-based policies through active involvement of youths and CSOs of waste workers to move towards the circularity of plastics.
