Giza FvLab, Presentation

The ambition of the Giza Fairville Lab is to bring together the inhabitants, the authorities and researchers to realize a co-mapping and co-assessment of the solid waste situation and to co-develop a realistic action plan based on innovative local solutions, supported by the best expertise. The process addresses the municipal and agricultural waste challenge in all its dimensions: waste minimization, waste sorting, waste transportation, waste recycling, resource recovery, waste collection, and/or waste disposal. It involves all concerned stakeholders: dwellers, CSOs, informal collectors, private sector, local and regional authorities. The lab believes that co-production can succeed were top-down approaches have so far failed and hope that this experience can be replicated in more locations in Egypt.
