The project is anticipated to yield multiple benefits of an attractive urban environment that supports economic growth and increased livability for residents while helping the country in its path toward climate goals. The project's integrated approach towards SWM is reflected in two main components: Component 1 (Institutional Strengthening for Solid Waste Management) through technical assistance will support institutional strengthening and capacity building at both entity and municipal/cantonal levels to improve framework conditions for solid waste management in BiH, assist the path towards EU accession, and support implementation of the BiH ESAP 2022-2032+.
