This report contains the results of the workshop on developing a framework for the preparation of the CSPs conducted by GTZ with the CSP consultants for the cities. The objectives of the workshop were discussing the key issues in the status reports, identifying data gaps, discussing the issues in ensuring ownership at ULB/State level and developing a framework for the CSP outputs/recommendations.

Optimization of municipal solid waste (MSW) collection and transportation through source separation becomes one of the major concerns in the MSW management system design, due to the fact that the existing MSW management systems suffer by the high collection and transportation cost. Generally, in a city different waste sources scatter throughout the city in heterogeneous way that increase waste collection and transportation cost in the waste management system. Therefore, a shortest waste collection and transportation strategy can effectively reduce waste collection and transportation cost. In this paper, we propose an optimal MSW collection and transportation scheme that focus on the problem of minimizing the length of each waste collection and transportation route. We first formulize the MSW collection and transportation problem into a mixed integer program. Moreover, we propose a heuristic solution for the waste collection and transportation problem that can provide an optimal way for waste collection and transportation. Extensive simulations and real testbed results show that the proposed solution can significantly improve the MSW performance. Results show that the proposed scheme is able to reduce more than 30% of the total waste collection path length.

This module is a guide to developing and implementing Training of Trainers (TOT) workshops. The overall objective of the module is to equip the participants with the knowledge and skills required to design and conduct practical training courses in mainstreaming gender in IWRM. The module is supposed to be used as a manual to be able to deliver culturally specific training of trainers.

The “Emergency Information Management Toolkit, for response within the first two to four months of a refugee emergency” is the result of the latest efforts of the UNHCR in strengthening the organisation’s capacity through information and data management. The Toolkit is structured to present UNHCR information and data management advice and tools meant to inform a coordinated humanitarian response during the first two to four months of a refugee emergency, but the guidance provided is relevant and useful in a broader range of operational settings.

After an earthquake that struck the region of Arequipa, the existing water distribution network was destroyed. The communities and the Peruvian Red Cross prepared a project for safe water. Core elements of the project were the teaching and practise of the SODIS method, improved hygiene and health, and organizational strengthening of the communities. At the end of the project, 75% of the beneficiary population was using SODIS for water disinfection.
