The expected change generated within two years of the project’s implementation – increased knowledge and capacities of project’s partners and stakeholders to develop and implement sustainable waste management policies and methodologies.
Small scale investments on Estonian and Russian sides will support construction of 25 waste collection points in Estonia, Kohtla-Järve town; 10 waste collection points in Russia: Slantsy region and Pskov.
Serious attention will be paid to the raising awareness of the stakeholders of partners’ municipalities on the issues of improving solid waste management systems. Local training will be also organized for municipal institutions’ employees at their working places.
