Abstract
Poverty Reduction of Informal Workers in Solid Waste Management Working in 5 municipalities of Kathmandu valley, the overall objective is improving the living conditions of informal workers in the solid waste management sector. It will also improve waste services for residents and protect workers' interests. The specific objective is to enhance SOCIAL PROTECTION of informal sector waste workers and vulnerable groups dependent on waste for their livelihoods. 4 Expected Results: 1. Strengthened capacities of non-state actors and other stakeholders to engage effectively with target groups for social recognition and piloting innovative social protection schemes 2. Enhanced technical and entrepreneurial skills of the informal sector workers and vulnerable groups in solid waste management for better incomes, secured livelihoods and safer working environment 3. Strengthened solid waste market system to become more inclusive and pro-poor 4. Developed and disseminated key learning documents and collaborated amongst SWM informal sector workers and organisations for inclusive social protection to influence policy makers and other stakeholders Beneficiaries: The targets around 4,000 waste workers, with all having an increase in health and safety leading to better health outcomes, 2,000 having increased incomes, and 1,000 having access to affordable health care and insurance. We expect that at least 50% of beneficiaries will be women. This project will provide us a better insight on approaches to changing relational well-being (ref: our organisational narrative). It is strongly CROSS-AIM between Aims 3 and 2. We will need to find appropriate ways of working with the 'EXTREME POOR'
