Stakeholder meeting 3rd of April 2024, lead by: Jan Skaaja, key expert for solid waste management
A stakeholder meeting for the Health Care Risk Waste Management project was conducted on 3 April 2024. The focus of the meeting was to confirm suitable sites for both Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) and Health Care Risk Waste (HCRW) treatment facilities. These facilities are necessary to handle the region’s healthcare-related waste effectively.
The meeting included insightful presentations, a detailed Q&A session to address any concerns and collect input from participants. As a result, a consensus was reached on identifying a prime location in Suco Metinaro. This site will serve as the nucleus for the central MRF and regional HCRW treatment facility, significantly advancing the project’s aim to enhance environmental health practices in Timor-Leste.
Several stakeholders attended the meeting, including the President of Dili Municipal Authority, Mr. Saldanho; the Director of Dili SMASA, Mr. Godinho; representatives from the MPIE; Suco chiefs; and others.
